Scott Wegner created BEAM-678:
---------------------------------
Summary: Python executable should be overridable
Key: BEAM-678
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-678
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: sdk-py
Reporter: Scott Wegner
Assignee: Scott Wegner
Priority: Minor
Since [PR 962|https://github.com/apache/incubator-beam/pull/962], dependency.py
will use {{sys.executable}} to source the python executable to use for managing
dependencies. However, as stated in the [python
docs|https://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.executable]:
bq. If Python is unable to retrieve the real path to its executable,
sys.executable will be an empty string or None.
To mitigate this, we should allow setting the python executable to use via an
environment variable.
