FindPython2¶
Find Python 2 interpreter, compiler and development environment (include directories and libraries).
The following components are supported:
Interpreter: search for Python 2 interpreterCompiler: search for Python 2 compiler. Only offered by IronPython.Development: search for development artifacts (include directories and libraries)NumPy: search for NumPy include directories.
If no COMPONENTS are specified, Interpreter is assumed.
To ensure consistent versions between components Interpreter, Compiler,
Development and NumPy, specify all components at the same time:
find_package (Python2 COMPONENTS Interpreter Development)
This module looks only for version 2 of Python. This module can be used
concurrently with FindPython3 module to use both Python versions.
The FindPython module can be used if Python version does not matter
for you.
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.

This module will set the following variables in your project (see Standard Variable Names):
Python2_FOUNDSystem has the Python 2 requested components.
Python2_Interpreter_FOUNDSystem has the Python 2 interpreter.
Python2_EXECUTABLEPath to the Python 2 interpreter.
Python2_INTERPRETER_ID- A short string unique to the interpreter. Possible values include:
Python
ActivePython
Anaconda
Canopy
IronPython
Python2_STDLIBStandard platform independent installation directory.
Information returned by
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=False,standard_lib=True).Python2_STDARCHStandard platform dependent installation directory.
Information returned by
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=True,standard_lib=True).Python2_SITELIBThird-party platform independent installation directory.
Information returned by
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=False,standard_lib=False).Python2_SITEARCHThird-party platform dependent installation directory.
Information returned by
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib(plat_specific=True,standard_lib=False).Python2_Compiler_FOUNDSystem has the Python 2 compiler.
Python2_COMPILERPath to the Python 2 compiler. Only offered by IronPython.
Python2_COMPILER_ID- A short string unique to the compiler. Possible values include:
IronPython
Python2_Development_FOUNDSystem has the Python 2 development artifacts.
Python2_INCLUDE_DIRSThe Python 2 include directories.
Python2_LIBRARIESThe Python 2 libraries.
Python2_LIBRARY_DIRSThe Python 2 library directories.
Python2_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRSThe Python 2 runtime library directories.
Python2_VERSIONPython 2 version.
Python2_VERSION_MAJORPython 2 major version.
Python2_VERSION_MINORPython 2 minor version.
Python2_VERSION_PATCHPython 2 patch version.
Python2_NumPy_FOUNDSystem has the NumPy.
Python2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRSThe NumPy include directries.
Python2_NumPy_VERSIONThe NumPy version.
Hints¶
Python2_ROOT_DIRDefine the root directory of a Python 2 installation.
Python2_USE_STATIC_LIBSIf 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.
Python2_FIND_STRATEGYThis variable defines how lookup will be done. The
Python2_FIND_STRATEGYvariable can be set to one of the following:Python2_FIND_REGISTRYOn Windows the
Python2_FIND_REGISTRYvariable determine the order of preference between registry and environment variables. thePython2_FIND_REGISTRYvariable can be set to 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.
Python2_FIND_FRAMEWORKOn macOS the
Python2_FIND_FRAMEWORKvariable determine the order of preference between Apple-style and unix-style package components. This variable can take same values asCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORKvariable.Note
Value
ONLYis not supported soFIRSTwill be used instead.If
Python2_FIND_FRAMEWORKis not defined,CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORKvariable will be used, if any.Python2_FIND_VIRTUALENVThis variable defines the handling of virtual environments managed by
virtualenvorconda. It is meaningful only when a virtual environment is active (i.e. theactivatescript has been evaluated). In this case, it takes precedence overPython2_FIND_REGISTRYandCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORKvariables. ThePython2_FIND_VIRTUALENVvariable can be set to 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, variablePython2_FIND_REGISTRY(Windows) orCMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK(macOS) can be set with valueLASTorNEVERto select preferably the interpreter from the virtual environment.
Note
If the component
Developmentis requested, it is strongly recommended to also include the componentInterpreterto get expected result.
Artifacts Specification¶
To solve special cases, it is possible to specify directly the artifacts by setting the following variables:
Python2_EXECUTABLEThe path to the interpreter.
Python2_COMPILERThe path to the compiler.
Python2_LIBRARYThe path to the library. It will be used to compute the variables
Python2_LIBRARIES,Python2_LIBRAY_DIRSandPython2_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_DIRS.Python2_INCLUDE_DIRThe path to the directory of the
Pythonheaders. It will be used to compute the variablePython2_INCLUDE_DIRS.Python2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRThe path to the directory of the
NumPyheaders. It will be used to compute the variablePython2_NumPy_INCLUDE_DIRS.
Note
All paths must be absolute. Any artifact specified with a relative path will be ignored.
Note
When an artifact is specified, all HINTS will be ignored and no search
will be performed for this artifact.
If more than one artifact is specified, it is the user’s responsability to ensure the consistency of the various artifacts.
Commands¶
This module defines the command Python2_add_library (when
CMAKE_ROLE is PROJECT), which has the same semantics as
add_library() and adds a dependency to target Python2::Python or,
when library type is MODULE, to target Python2::Module and takes care
of Python module naming rules:
Python2_add_library (<name> [STATIC | SHARED | MODULE]
<source1> [<source2> ...])
If library type is not specified, MODULE is assumed.
