From d8d2d38275c1b2d3936c0d809e0559e88912fbb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2021 10:00:24 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove PYTHON variable Python retired in 2020, and some distributions do not provide the 'python' command any more. As in commit 51839e29cb59 ("scripts: switch explicitly to Python 3"), we need to use more specific 'python3' to invoke scripts even if they are written in a way compatible with both Python 2 and 3. This commit removes the variable 'PYTHON', and switches the existing users to 'PYTHON3'. BTW, PEP 394 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/) is a helpful material.
