[GRASS-dev] python2/3 and GRASS build on Arch

[Maciej Sieczka]

Hi,

On Arch GNU/Linux the `python' executable by default links to 
`python3'. To use Python 2.x, one has to call `python2' explicitely. 
This requires Archers to tweak include/Make/Platform.make.in and each 
GRASS python executable to build and use GRASS (e.g. like in 
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gr/grass7-svn/PKGBUILD).

Can GRASS make system be changed so that the python executable used 
during GRASS build and runtime is configurable?

Probably the problem is limited to this one distro now, but this might 
change in future I guess.
