python3 support
---------------
The version of python which is now the default for samba is python3.
'configure' & 'make' will execute using python3. It is possible to still
specify an additional python version with '--extra-python'
e.g. '--extra-python=/usr/bin/python2'. It should be noted that support for
this option will be deprecated in a future release.
What if I need to build with python2? To build with python2 you *must* set
the 'PYTHON' environent variable to override the python3 default for both
'configure' and 'make' steps.
'PYTHON=python2 ./configure.developer'
&
'PYTHON=python2 make'
Note: Support for python2 (with the exception of a build configured with
'PYTHON=python2 ./configure --disable-python' and built with
'PYTHON=python2 make' will be deprecated in the next release.
