# This .pri files finds a suitable Python binary on the system.
#
# It exposes the found Python binary as the 'PYTHON' qmake variable.
# This variable contains the absolute path to a working Python binary.
#
# Why do we need to do this?
#
# Some systems (for example, OpenBSD's Python port), are not
# PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) compliant.
#
# This means that there is no 'python', 'python2' or 'python3'
# binaries in the $PATH.
#
# On those systems, we can't rely on a '#!/usr/bin/env python2'
# or similar shebang. We have to query the system for versioned
# Python binaries like "python2.7" instead.
#
# This file does that, by searching in $PATH using the 'which'
# tool.
#
# If no binary is found, an error is shown to the user.
#
# This script also supports setting a MUMBLE_PYTHON environment
# variable to specify an absolute path to a Python binary to use.
# Setting this environment variable overrides any querying.
