FindPython
----------

Find Python interpreter, compiler and development environment (include
directories and libraries).

Three components are supported:

* ``Interpreter``: search for Python interpreter.
* ``Compiler``: search for Python compiler. Only offered by IronPython.
* ``Development``: search for development artifacts (include directories and
  libraries).
* ``NumPy``: search for NumPy include directories.

If no ``COMPONENTS`` is specified, ``Interpreter`` is assumed.

To ensure consistent versions between components ``Interpreter``, ``Compiler``,
``Development`` and ``NumPy``, specify all components at the same time::

  find_package (Python COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)

This module looks preferably for version 3 of Python. If not found, version 2
is searched.
To manage concurrent versions 3 and 2 of Python, use :module:`FindPython3` and
:module:`FindPython2` modules rather than this one.

.. note::

  If components ``Interpreter`` and ``Development`` are both specified, this
  module search only for interpreter with same platform architecture as the one
  defined by ``CMake`` configuration. This contraint does not apply if only
  ``Interpreter`` component is specified.

Imported Targets
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This module defines the following :ref:`Imported Targets <Imported Targets>`
(when :prop_gbl:`CMAKE_ROLE` is ``PROJECT``):

``Python::Interpreter``
  Python interpreter. Target defined if component ``Interpreter`` is found.
``Python::Compiler``
  Python compiler. Target defined if component ``Compiler`` is found.
``Python::Python``
  Python library for Python embedding. Target defined if component
  ``Development`` is found.
``Python::Module``
  Python library for Python module. Target defined if component ``Development``
  is found.
``Python::NumPy``
  NumPy Python library. Target defined if component ``NumPy`` is found.

Hints
^^^^^

``Python_ROOT_DIR``
  Define the root directory of a Python installation.

``Python_USE_STATIC_LIBS``
  * If not defined, search for shared libraries and static libraries in that
    order.
  * If set to TRUE, search **only** for static libraries.
  * If set to FALSE, search **only** for shared libraries.

``Python_FIND_ABI``
  This variable defines which ABIs, as defined in
  `PEP 3149 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3149/>`_, should be searched.

  .. note::

    This hint will be honored only when searched for ``Python`` version 3.

  .. note::

    If ``Python_FIND_ABI`` is not defined, any ABI will be searched.

  The ``Python_FIND_ABI`` variable is a 3-tuple specifying, in that order,
  ``pydebug`` (``d``), ``pymalloc`` (``m``) and ``unicode`` (``u``) flags.
  Each element can be set to one of the following:

  * ``ON``: Corresponding flag is selected.
  * ``OFF``: Corresponding flag is not selected.
  * ``ANY``: The two posibilties (``ON`` and ``OFF``) will be searched.

  From this 3-tuple, various ABIs will be searched starting from the most
  specialized to the most general. Moreover, ``debug`` versions will be
  searched **after** ``non-debug`` ones.

  For example, if we have::

    set (Python_FIND_ABI "ON" "ANY" "ANY")

  The following flags combinations will be appended, in that order, to the
  artifact names: ``dmu``, ``dm``, ``du``, and ``d``.

  And to search any possible ABIs::

    set (Python_FIND_ABI "ANY" "ANY" "ANY")

  The following combinations, in that order, will be used: ``mu``, ``m``,
  ``u``, ``<empty>``, ``dmu``, ``dm``, ``du`` and ``d``.

  .. note::

    This hint is useful only on ``POSIX`` systems. So, on ``Windows`` systems,
    when ``Python_FIND_ABI`` is defined, ``Python`` distributions from
    `python.org <https://www.python.org/>`_ will be found only if value for
    each flag is ``OFF`` or ``ANY``.

``Python_FIND_STRATEGY``
  This variable defines how lookup will be done.
  The ``Python_FIND_STRATEGY`` variable can be set to empty or one of the
  following:

  * ``VERSION``: Try to find the most recent version in all specified
    locations.
    This is the default if policy :policy:`CMP0094` is undefined or set to
    ``OLD``.
  * ``LOCATION``: Stops lookup as soon as a version satisfying version
    constraints is founded.
    This is the default if policy :policy:`CMP0094` is set to ``NEW``.

``Python_FIND_REGISTRY``
  On Windows the ``Python_FIND_REGISTRY`` variable determine the order
  of preference between registry and environment variables.
  the ``Python_FIND_REGISTRY`` variable can be set to empty or one of the
  following:

  * ``FIRST``: Try to use registry before environment variables.
    This is the default.
  * ``LAST``: Try to use registry after environment variables.
  * ``NEVER``: Never try to use registry.

``Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK``
  On macOS the ``Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK`` variable determine the order of
  preference between Apple-style and unix-style package components.
  This variable can be set to empty or take same values as
  :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK` variable.

  .. note::

    Value ``ONLY`` is not supported so ``FIRST`` will be used instead.

  If ``Python_FIND_FRAMEWORK`` is not defined, :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK`
  variable will be used, if any.

``Python_FIND_VIRTUALENV``
  This variable defines the handling of virtual environments. It is meaningfull
  only when a virtual environment is active (i.e. the ``activate`` script has
  been evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence over
  ``Python_FIND_REGISTRY`` and ``CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK`` variables.
  The ``Python_FIND_VIRTUALENV`` variable can be set to empty or one of the
  following:

  * ``FIRST``: The virtual environment is used before any other standard
    paths to look-up for the interpreter. This is the default.
  * ``ONLY``: Only the virtual environment is used to look-up for the
    interpreter.
  * ``STANDARD``: The virtual environment is not used to look-up for the
    interpreter. In this case, variable ``Python_FIND_REGISTRY`` (Windows)
    or ``CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK`` (macOS) can be set with value ``LAST`` or
    ``NEVER`` to select preferably the interpreter from the virtual
    environment.

Commands
^^^^^^^^

This module defines the command ``Python_add_library`` (when
:prop_gbl:`CMAKE_ROLE` is ``PROJECT``), which has the same semantics as
:command:`add_library` and adds a dependency to target ``Python::Python`` or,
when library type is ``MODULE``, to target ``Python::Module`` and takes care of
Python module naming rules::

  Python_add_library (my_module MODULE src1.cpp)

If library type is not specified, ``MODULE`` is assumed.
