The current master fails to start-up (on macOS) if the default Python is
Python3.x, because prefs2prefs.py is not compatible with Python3.
This looks strange. The python people say python 2.7 is the default on Mac
(including the latest OS Sierra).

In python23() in os.cpp both Python 2 and Python 3 are accepted.
As a temporarily workaround I've built with PYTHON="/usr/bin/python" which is
the default apple-python, but that doesn't seem to help.

Sorry, I misunderstood - you are trying to force the use of the default 2.7
python. I think you have to force the use of correct python at run-time. It
doesn’t matter what your environment is at compile time. This is the correct
behavior, IMO.
Stephan
I agree but what then is the use of PYTHON at configure time?
Python is used to run the tests. Probably the value of PYTHON is used to force
a specific python installation if the detected one is not wanted.
And yes python2.7 is the default apple python, but if e.g. one has python
installed with macports this one (might) take precedence. Before running LyX
one now has to select a python2 version or none.
Since LyX seems to accept also python3 I thought that one was not aware that
prefs2prefs.py is not yet compatible.
Yes, you’re right. I forgot that LyX should be able to use python3 now. Sorry.
I’m not a python expert. Nevertheless I tried to solve this issue. What about
the attached patch?
Stephan
<prefs2prefs.patch>
The follow-up patch I’ve attached now should work with python2 too.
Stephan
It does. Thanks.
