From c229e01a1f519c40c293b551cf6491f80f5356a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Bolognani Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 17:12:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] configure: Allow (and prefer) Python 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Our build process no longer depends on Python 2, so we can finally allow Python 3 to satisfy our requirement for a Python interpreter. Since several distributions have now switched to installing Python 3 by default and Python 2 is on its way out, prefer the former when both are available.
