OK. Some more background: we don't require Python to build because very old versions of the XenServer DDK (under which we have to build OVS to produce XenServer binaries) did not include a Python interpreter. I was playing with a newer XenServer DDK the other day, though, and noticed that it does include Python. So it might be possible to just add Python as a build-time requirement these days, in which case we could simplify the makefiles and make them much more straightforward. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
