Jiri Daněk updated PROTON-2217:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
I have the same experience that was reported elsewhere:

bq. For me, the find_package(PythonInterp) call was always finding the older 
interpreter (2.7) even though everything pointed to the newer one (3.6). (from 
https://reviews.llvm.org/D64881)

This behavior is unfortunate on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal, where both python2 and 
python3 are available, but pip for python2 is not packaged. Therefore it makes 
sense to build proton with python3; which would make sense anyways, since 
Python 2.7 is deprecated by the Python Software Foundation nowadays..

Besides removing python2 as discussed on the linked page, there is currently 
nicer way to force python3 that worked for me, by setting 
{{-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3}} CMake variable.

Related dispatch issue, DISPATCH-187
