Returning to this issue of preferring python3, from last year:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=71672
Add these three macros to Autoconf proper:
..._PYTHON_...
Have they been added?
I think that should disentangle things reasonably well, but we should
definitely do this early rather than late in an automake release cycle,
I hope to put out the next automake pretest->release very soon. So I
guess whatever happens
and seek out feedback from existing users of AM_PATH_PYTHON.
To be clear, the above suggested factoring-out won't (intentionally)
affect the behavior of AM_PATH_PYTHON, right? It will still look for
"python" first, and still do all the stuff it does. I want Automake to
stay as backward-compatible as possible. --thanks, karl.
