[issue16236] Doc/Makefile should have $PYTHON=python2
Michele Orrù added the comment: The patch should not unconditionally use `python2` since many distributions do not yet install a `python2` link to the interpreter nor is there one when running python2.7 from a build directory. The Makefile could conditionally try `python2` and then fall back to `python`. Sorry, I did not know that some OSes could not have the `python2` symlink, I just watched if there was on the Makefile. Yes, please don’t break many OSes for the sake of one. Concerning this, we should do a proper configure script. Do you think that's worth it, E`ric? ``` Real configure scripts are generally much more complicated than this, since they may deal with systems where $PATH is not delimited by colons; or systems where executable programs may have optional extensions like .EXE; or $PATH variables that have the current working directory included in them as an empty string; etc. -- http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/081 -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16236 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Michele Orrù: On Arch/Linux, running `make html` fails with $ make html mkdir -p build/html build/doctrees python tools/sphinx-build.py -b html -d build/doctrees -D latex_paper_size= . build/html Traceback (most recent call last): File tools/sphinx-build.py, line 27, in module from sphinx import main File //cpython/Doc/tools/sphinx/__init__.py, line 44 except ImportError, err: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax make: *** [build] Error 1 That is because sphinx needs python version 2 to run; but `python` is symlinked to python3 on my platform. We should replace $PYTHON with python2, which AFAIS here[0], it would point to the correct version.
