# 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(PythonLibs).
+#
+# If you'd like to specify the installation of Python to use, you should modify
+# the following cache variables:
+# PYTHON_LIBRARY - path to the python library
+# PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR - path to where Python.h is found
