Autotools usually already does the right thing, aka choosing python2 if
it
cannot find python. Using "python" in Fedora packages is forbidden
anyway.
I applied your patch. Thanks.
But I am concerned that this is a bandaid because it patches the spec
file and all distributions will have to do the same thing.
How does this Fedora impact other distributions?
Because eventually we all (distros) have to go through it. So, if autotools
handled this gracefully, I and everyone else would have a configure.ac file and
Makefile.am that just does the right thing. So, I am faced with making an
announcement on my project's mail list that maintainer on other distros have
to do this hack because autotools is incapable of doing the right thing.
Oh, now I understand. Sorry for the confusion.
I don't really understand autotools that much, but I'm quite confident that
there is A Proper Way™ to have --with-python2 and --with-python3 (instead of
--with-python). I've seen projects in Fedora have that.
Hopefully somebody more experienced in autotools can help here.
