The LLDB SWIG scripts only support python 2. When trying to run with python 3,
the following error occurs:
File "<string>", line 1
from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print
get_python_lib(True, False, "/tmp/llvm/build");
Due to:
<lldb_dir>/scripts/Python/build-swig-Python.sh
and
<lldb_dir>/scripts/Python/build-swig-Python-LLDB.sh
scripts using "usr/bin/env python" to locate the right python executable. On
Arch Linux, where python 3 is the default, the correct way to find python is by
doing "/usr/bin/env python2" however "python2" is not installed on Mac OS X...
So to keep things working on multiple platforms, propagating the LLVM CMake
variable "PYTHON_EXECUTABLE" to the scripts above is the right approach.
