From 22a569f2ae7defc4eae62f0b1b6d790e412d9dc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pau Espin Pedrol Date: Fri, 3 May 2019 11:36:13 +0200 Subject: tests: Fix selection of python version According to documentation (and personal experience), AM_PATH_PYTHON selects the highest version of python, no matter if major version is different, which means if both python2 and 3 are available, 3 will be chosen an PYTHON will point to "/.../python" which is python3. Apparently, the macro cannot be easily used to pick highest python2 version. chosen an PYTHON will point to "/.../python" which is python3. Apparently, the macro cannot be easily used to pick highest python2 version. As {vty,ctrl}_test_runner.py require python2 and are incompatible with python3, let's instead rely on the system having a "python2" binary available, which is the case in most distros. cherry-picked from: osmo-bsc.git 7e78681f0f740bd68ed5255b506a1efa08a231b1.
