What I mean is that, currently, you can adjust the PATH and make LyX choose the version you want that meets those criteria (python 3). If you have python 3.6 and python 3.9 but, for some reason, you want to use python 3.6, you can do that. On the contrary, if you force using python 3.9, the user has no control. For example, the user may have the python-pygmemts package installed for python 3.6 but not for python 3.9. > What I would like to have would be a way to configure this.

Put a link to the python version you want to use earlier in the PATH and that's it. -- Enrico -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
