Sure thing. What I'm hitting is a problem in my day job projects (Qpid
and Proton). In both cases we have core code written in C++ (Qpid) and
C (Proton) and provide language bindings via Swig. We use Cmake as our
build system.

When python3 is installed then, with both projects, Cmake finds Python
3. But when the build environment generates the Python language bindings
it's consistently failing to link the libpython2.7 library, and the build
fails.

When I uninstall python3, Cmake finds Python 2.7 and links it in
correctly and all is good.
