Python is designed to have an arbitrary number of versions installed in parallel, and for the canonical `python` to be pointing to any of them. we have requests (that i think we should support) for compiling more than one version in a single build. so i agree that this handcoded list sucks, but i'm not sure of a better way atm to handle it. we could snoop $PATH manually with globs looking for python[0-9].[0-9]+ and then sort by version, but doing that portably is a bit of a nightmare, and i don't think autoconf provides any macros off the shelf that we could leverage. we could make the code a bit dynamic -- start at 3.0 and then count up remembering the last version we saw, and repeat until we hit like 20 missing versions in a row. but that doesn't exactly improve the code that much, and this hardcoded version list is a fallback for when the canonical `python` & `python3` are missing. which, while possible, shouldn't be that common ... -mike signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It's unfortunate that we keep having to update this list. I wonder if there's a clean way to detect all the available /^python\d\.\d+/ commands and then sort them. zw

Fixes automake bug https://bugs.gnu.org/53530. Based on the cadence of Automake releases, add the current Python release (3.10), the current Python development (3.11), and then 4 more versions on top of that. It doesn't hurt to check for a few extra versions here since this is the fallback logic when the main `python` and `python3` programs aren't found. * m4/python.m4: Add python3.10 - python3.15. --- m4/python.m4 | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/m4/python.m4 b/m4/python.m4 index f5b5371c6a63..6653e4d89eb2 100644 --- a/m4/python.m4 +++ b/m4/python.m4 @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ AC_DEFUN([AM_PATH_PYTHON], dnl supported.
