The detection code in LyX is working correctly, it works if the name is not
python. The code searches for python39 or python3.9 or ...
The issue that Scott is raising is different. The problem is that configure.py
always issue a "python" as the python name. When we get here the lyx detection
code already worked correctly.
I had thought previously about this and I have an idea to fix this.
"""
import os, sys
print(os.path.basename(sys.executable))
"""
so the idea is to replace "python" by os.path.basename(sys.executable) in all
the calls on configure.py.
This code is general, since it takes care of the directory separators, and it
should work everywhere.
Funnily enough the function rescanTeXFiles (line 1920) already does that. :-)
For the next stable release if we assume a minimum of python 3.6 we can use
the f-strings (formatted in case you wonder :-) ) and the code could be
simply.
python = os.path.basename(sys.executable);
...
print (f"{python}")
so that the content of variable python is replaced inside the function...
