> Configure should reject too new python versions
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-8590
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8590
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build, python api
> Reporter: Benjamin Bannier
> Priority: Major
> Labels: autotools, newbie
>
> If a user tries to enable Python support in an autotools build, but a python3
> is found, they will currently see
> {noformat}
> configure:24930: checking whether /usr/bin/python3 version >= 2.6
> configure:24939: /usr/bin/python3 -c import sys, string # split strings by
> '.' and convert to numeric. Append some zeros # because we need at least 4
> digits for the hex conversion. minver = map(int, string.sp
> Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
> AttributeError: module 'string' has no attribute 'split'
> {noformat}
> This is due to {{m4/python.m4}}'s {{AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION}} not supporting
> python3.
> For the time being a workaround for users is to make sure than
> {{./configure}} find a python2 first.
> We should check whether we can update this fill from a more recent upstream
> source; we want to think about consolidating our python-related m4 scripts at
> this time as well.
