| Summary | 0004362: bank requires Python 3.4, fails to auto-detect | ||||
| Description | The bank right now requires Python 3.4, it is unhappy with Py2 or even just Python 3.5, and fails to find python3.4 unless $PYTHON is set explicitly. The code should (probably) be (re)written to work with more Python versions (in particular definitively all 3.x-versions, including 3.5). Also, configure should check for common variants of Python installations (i.e. /usr/bin/ptyhon3.4) and auto-detect those even if PYTHON is not set explicitly. Doing this right may involve transitioning to PyConfigure. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | $ ./configure --prefix=/home/grothoff/ checking for python... /usr/bin/python checking if Python >= '3.4'... no configure: error: in `/home/grothoff/research/taler-bank': configure: error: No compatible Python interpreter found. If you're sure that you have one, try setting the PYTHON environment variable to the location of the interpreter. See `config.log' for more details $ export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.4 $ ./configure --prefix=/home/grothoff/ checking for python... /usr/bin/python3.4 checking if Python >= '3.4'... yes checking if Python <= '4.0'... yes | ||||

| The bank has been using pyconfigure for quite a while now. But it doesn't seem to be widely used, and there might be some issues with python3 support. If we fix anything in it, we should probably contribute it back. Christian, I can't reproduce the problem with python3.5, but I'm on a different distro. Note that right now we simply ask pyconfigure to find an interpreter >=3.4 ... | |
| I'm not saying that there is an issue with 3.5 in the source code, just that the configure script says it requires 3.4. | |
| Hmm, there must be some other issue. Calling PC_INIT with just one argument specifies the minimum version, not an exact version. Also evident by the output you pasted above: checking if Python >= '3.4'... yes checking if Python <= '4.0'... yes This looks like an issue with pyconfigure to me. Also the "<=" before 4.0 seems odd ... | |
| as said by the authors, pyconfigure was buggy. Leave this open until applying the patch | |
| Fixed in 9dceca7, we're using the (now fixed) pyconfigure again | |
