# FindPythonInterp

Find python interpreter

This module finds if Python interpreter is installed and determines where the executables are. This code sets the following variables:

    PYTHONINTERP_FOUND         - Was the Python executable found
    PYTHON_EXECUTABLE          - path to the Python interpreter

    PYTHON_VERSION_STRING      - Python version found e.g. 2.5.2
    PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR       - Python major version found e.g. 2
    PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR       - Python minor version found e.g. 5
    PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH       - Python patch version found e.g. 2

The Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable can be used to specify a list of version numbers that should be taken into account when searching for Python. You need to set this variable before calling find_package(PythonInterp).
