             Summary: Detect suitable Python & pip executables in Python-SDK
                 Key: BEAM-1693
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1693
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sdk-py
            Reporter: Tibor Kiss
            Assignee: Tibor Kiss


Python SDK currently supports Python-2.7 only.

The Python interpreter & pip definition in pom.xml points to {{python2}} & 
{{pip2}} respectively. 

Users with multiple Python interpreters installed might end up having python2 
and pip2 pointing to their 2.6 installation. (This scenario happens mostly on 
OS X machines.)

There is no single, valid name for the executables as different OSes install 
those binaries in various names:
- CentOS6/EPEL: pip (python 2.6) & pip2 (python 2.6) & pip2.6 (python 2.6)
- CentOS7/EPEL: pip (python 2.7) & pip2 (python 2.7) & pip2.7 (python 2.7)
- Debian7: pip (python 2.7) & pip-2.6 (python 2.6) & pip-2.7 (python 2.7)
- Debian8: pip (python 2.7) & pip2 (python 2.7)
- Debian9: pip (python 2.7) & pip2 (python 2.7)
- Ubuntu1204: pip (python 2.7)
- Ubuntu1404: pip2 (python 2.7)
- Ubuntu1604: pip (python 2.7) & pip2 (python 2.7)
- OS X: pip (python 2.6) & pip2 (python 2.6) & pip2.7 (brew / python 2.7)
- Windows: pip-2.7 (python.org based installer)

To overcome this problem the pom.xml should be extended to determine the 
suitable Python interpreter & pip automatically, in a platform independent way.
