PDGGK opened a new pull request, #37297:
URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/37297
## What changes are being proposed in this pull request?
This PR addresses issue #37279 by documenting the Python version
availability issues on Ubuntu 24.04.
Ubuntu 24.04 ships with Python 3.12 by default but lacks `python3.10`,
`python3.11`, and `python3.13` commands in the default repositories. This
causes build failures when developers try to run Python SDK test suites that
require multiple Python versions.
## Why are these changes needed?
New contributors using Ubuntu 24.04 frequently encounter confusing build
errors like:
- `python3.10: command not found`
- `Cannot run program "python3.10": No such file or directory`
This documentation update helps developers:
1. Understand why the error occurs
2. Know which Python versions are affected
3. Apply appropriate workarounds
## Changes made:
- Simplified "For more information" line to match Beam documentation style
- Added Ubuntu 24.04-specific guidance explaining missing Python versions
- Provided two workarounds:
- Using `pyenv` to install and make multiple versions available
- Creating symlinks in `/usr/local/bin/`
## Testing
- Documentation-only change, no code tests required
- Verified formatting and links
Fixes #37279
