I think this is the most important question. After all, we do not have control over PATH, and in many cases we cannot set a sensible path prefix (e.g. on many linux systems). > In particular, why is the test out.first < 0 and > not out.first != 0 ? Because out.first is -1 on error. It is either a hard coded -1 in LyX, or the return value of pclose(), _pclose() or fclose(). Which one is used on OS X? What does it retun on error? > This would have prevented the python3 version from being selected. Why? This means that prefixIs(out.second, "Python 2") returns true for python 3. How can that happen?
