2019-11-12build: support python 3.8Eli Schwartz
In python 3.8, in order to link to -lpython3.8, you need to use the exported pkg-config interface 'python3-embed' (or 'python3-config --libs --embed'), see https://bugs.python.org/issue36721 for details.
2019-11-12python: use more idiomatic cmake pkg-config linkingEli Schwartz
cmake documentation is absolutely atrocious, and I don't know why they mention all the wrong things to use, and the cargo cult of successfully writing a cmake build definition (copy-pasting what works from other projects) also uses all the wrong things. But it turns out it is possible to correctly link a PkgConfig target despite all that, at least, *iff* you use cmake >= 3.13. I've chosen option 2, which is to vendor in cmake >= 3.13's FindPkgConfig module in the previous commit. Using IMPORTED_TARGET GLOBAL in a pkg-config check will result in a proper linker target being created. For comparison, this is like using meson's dependency() target, except meson forces you to do this by default. The result is that the build system's internal representation of how to link something, is used instead of manually passing build flags defined in variables. This is an important distinction to make, because cmake does not have a list datatype, and instead turns lists into strings separated by ';' which are indistinguishable from, like, strings which contain ';' characters. When you pass the resulting list-which-isn't-really-a-list to link an executable/library, you either need to preprocess the variable to replace ';' with ' ' (just in case there are multiple elements) or use cmake functions which magically know to do this themselves -- or at least, I assume there are cmake functions that correctly handle so-called "lists", or there would be no need for "lists" to exist. The IMPORTED_TARGET will define a bunch of INTERFACE_* properties which do seem to do exactly this. The resulting build definition should actually, correctly, link python, thereby fixing #1398 in a better way.

2019-07-31build: use pkg-config to properly link pythonEli Schwartz
fixes incorrect (non)detection of libpython3.Ym.so due to PEP 3149 since python's officially exported build flags know how to correctly link to python.
2019-07-01core: compile with Python 3 by defaultSébastien Helleu
The CMake option ENABLE_PYTHON3 is renamed to ENABLE_PYTHON2, to use Python 2 first then fallback on Python 3. In the same way, the configure option --enable-python3 is renamed to --enable-python2, to use Python 2 first then fallback on Python 3.

2016-02-01Python plugin shared libraries missingShane McCarron
When linking against a python with shared libraries, this script ONLY asked for the LD flags, not any additional libraries. This could result in a condition where required libraries (such as libutil on Centos 6.7 against Python 2.7) are not loaded and the load of the plugin thus fails. This change asks the python being linked against which libraries it was linked using, and then ensures those are also linked against by the python plugin for weechat.

2013-01-05core: add cmake option ENABLE_PYTHON3 and configure option --enable-python3Sebastien Helleu
With this option, the python plugin will be built and linked with Python 3 (if found, or Python 2 as fallback). This option it not (yet) recommended, because many scripts are working only with Python 2.x. It should be used only to tests scripts with Python 3.x in WeeChat.

2012-01-03python: support of Python 3.x (task #11704)Sebastien Helleu
Note that Python 2.x is still the only Python compiled if found: Python 3.x is not auto-detected by cmake neither configure. Many official Python scripts will not load/run with Python 3.x, so Python 2.x (2.7 or 2.6) is still the recommended version.
