perf python: Autodetect python3 binary
Some distros don't come with python2 and only have python3 available. This causes the "'import perf' in python" self test to fail. This change adds python3 to the list of possible python versions that are autodetected but maintains the priorities for 'python2' and 'python' detection. Python3 has the lowest priority. Committer notes: On a fedora system without python2 packages the 'perf test python' continues to work: # python2 bash: python2: command not found... Similar command is: 'python' # rpm -qa | grep python2 # That "Similar command" gives the clue: # rpm -qf /usr/bin/python python-unversioned-command-3.8.5-5.fc32.noarch # rpm -ql python-unversioned-command /usr/bin/python /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz # With it in place the 'python' binary is found and perf builds the python binding using python3: # perf test -v python 19: 'import perf' in python : --- start --- test child forked, pid 379988 python usage test: "echo "import sys ; sys.path.append('/tmp/build/perf/python'); import perf" | '/usr/bin/python' " test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- 'import perf' in python: Ok # Looking at that path: # ls -la /tmp/build/perf/python total 1864 drwxrwxr-x. 2 acme acme 60 Oct 13 16:20 . drwxrwxr-x. 18 acme acme 4420 Oct 13 16:28 .. -rwxrwxr-x. 1 acme acme 1907216 Oct 13 16:28 perf.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so # And: # ldd ~/bin/perf | grep python libpython3.8.so.1.0 => /lib64/libpython3.8.so.1.0 (0x00007f5471187000) # As soon as we remove it: # rpm -e python-unversioned-command-3.8.5-5.fc32.noarch # hash -r # python bash: python: command not found...
