Probably the idea was that one wants to find the newest Python version first,
and with the versioned pythonX.Y names this is relatively easy. With the
unversioned name, it's not that easy...
Perhaps something like this (completely untested)?
set(_fpi_versions 2.6 2.5 2.4 2.3 2.2 2.1 2.0 1.6 1.5)
foreach(_fpi_v IN LISTS _fpi_versions)
string(REPLACE "." "" _fpi_n python${_fpi_v})
if(WIN32)
# on WIN32 search registered installations first
find_executable(PYTHON_${_fpi_n}_EXECUTABLE python
PATHS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Python\\PythonCore\\${_fpi_v}\\InstallPath]
NO_DEFAULT_PATH NO_CMAKE_PATH NO_CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_PATH
NO_SYSTEM_ENVIRONMENT_PATH NO_CMAKE_SYSTEM_PATH NO_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH)
endif()
# then proceed to normal search
find_executable(PYTHON_${_fpi_n}_EXECUTABLE NAMES python${_fpi_v} python)
if(PYTHON_${_fpi_n}_EXECUTABLE)
# if we found a python interpreter, set PYTHON_EXECUTABLE and don't search
further
set(PYTHON_EXECUTABLE "${PYTHON_${_fpi_n}_EXECUTABLE}")
break()
endif()
endforeach()
Of course, FindPythonLibs.cmake should be smartened up to first search for
PythonInterp, and then use that result to come up with good guesses used in
HINT. Also it should fail if it can't find the libraries/headers that match the
interpreter that has been discovered...
