I installed python3 packages (initially forgetting the devel package --
d'oh!) and changed build-farm.conf thusly:
8<-------------------
***************
*** 185,190 ****
--- 185,193 ----
build_env => {
+ # specify python 3
+ PYTHON => 'python3',
+
# use a dedicated cache for the build farm. this should give
us
# very high hit rates and slightly faster cache searching.
#
8<-------------------
That seems to have worked.
But the question is, is that the correct/recommended method?
If python3 is in PATH, then you shouldn't need that part.
Not quite -- python3 is definitely in the PATH:
8<-------------------
$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
8<-------------------
And I gather that merely installing python3 RPMs on a RHEL-esque 7.X
system does not replace the python symlink:
8<-------------------
$ yum whatprovides /usr/bin/python
python-2.7.5-89.el7.x86_64 : An interpreted, interactive,
object-oriented programming language
Repo : base
Matched from:
Filename : /usr/bin/python
$ ll /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 7 Mar 13 2021 /usr/bin/python -> python2
