Hi,
With this change, during setup, cmake uses the new "Python" cmake module instead of the old "PythonInterp" if the cmake version is >= 3.12.0. This has the advantage of properly detecting python3 even on systems where both python2 and python3 are installed and python2 preceedes python3 in the PATH environment variable.
I have the above situation here, and therefore would appreciate if you could merge that. It also applies to v.2.5 without changes.
Cheers
