Adriaan de Groot <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|New |In Progress --- Comment #10 from Adriaan de Groot <[email protected]> --- Where is this DEFAULT_VERSIONS set? How are you testing it? The (old-style) PythonInterp runs `python3` and/or `python` to find whatever version that points to, and pretends that that is the preferred version. There's no specific reference to FreeBSD's default versions. If you have a program named `python3` in your $PATH, then that will be the version of Python3 that is found-by-default. As an illustration: ``` [adridg@beastie /tmp/pr-252277]$ ln -s `which python3.7` ~/bin/python3 [adridg@beastie /tmp/pr-252277]$ which python3 /home/adridg/bin/python3 ``` Here, the example CMakeLists.txt will find Python 3.7. Re-jig the link to point to Python 3.9 and then that is what is found. This works for **me** because ~/bin is in my $PATH. In many installations, the *python3* metaport installs a link to some default Python version, and that gets picked up. If there is **no** `python3` in $PATH, then you'll find the highest-versioned Python3 that is installed. [[ it **is** quite true, though, that finding PythonInterp and finding Python3 behave very differently, because the latter doesn't run `python3` for versioning. ]] -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
