Find python interpreter
This module finds if Python interpreter is installed and determines where the executables are. This code sets the following variables:
PYTHONINTERP_FOUND - Was the Python executable found
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE - path to the Python interpreter
PYTHON_VERSION_STRING - Python version found e.g. 2.5.2
PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR - Python major version found e.g. 2
PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR - Python minor version found e.g. 5
PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH - Python patch version found e.g. 2
The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a list of version numbers that should be taken into account when searching for Python. You need to set this variable before calling find_package(PythonInterp).
If calling both find_package(PythonInterp)
and
find_package(PythonLibs)
, call find_package(PythonInterp)
first to
get the currently active Python version by default with a consistent version
of PYTHON_LIBRARIES.
Note
A call to find_package(PythonInterp ${V})
for python version V
may find a python
executable with no version suffix. In this case
no attempt is made to avoid python executables from other versions.
Use FindPython3
, FindPython2
or FindPython
instead.
