autoconf's python not used in gmenu-simple-editor
Last modified: 2007-05-01 09:54:09 UTC
./configure finds the path to the python interpretter and its associated module directory, and this information is . As part of the gmenu-simple-editor.in -> gmenu-simple-editor processing, the module directory is patched in via @pyexecdir@, but the path to the python interp is left up to a runtime `env python`. That means the python used as runtime, "first 'python' in PATH" might not be the one against which the gnome-menus python bindings were compiled. Even if I explicitly pass PYTHON when running configure "use this specific python interp", `env python` is still being used instead.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
