# CMP0094

Modules `FindPython3`, `FindPython2` and `FindPython` use `LOCATION` for lookup strategy.

Starting with CMake 3.15, Modules `FindPython3`, `FindPython2` and `FindPython` set value `LOCATION` for, respectively, variables `Python3_FIND_STRATEGY`, `Python2_FIND_STRATEGY` and `Python_FIND_STRATEGY`. This policy provides compatibility with projects that expect the legacy behavior.

The `OLD` behavior for this policy set value `VERSION` for variables `Python3_FIND_STRATEGY`, `Python2_FIND_STRATEGY` and `Python_FIND_STRATEGY`.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.15. Use the `cmake_policy()` command to set it to `OLD` or `NEW` explicitly. Unlike many policies, CMake version 3.16.0-rc2 does not warn when this policy is not set and simply uses the `OLD` behavior.

Note

The `OLD` behavior of a policy is `deprecated by definition` and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
