From e46b82a03cf2c7d9edd5c58e0d77515e53f66190 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Snow Date: Wed, 10 May 2023 23:54:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] configure: Add courtesy hint to Python version failure message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit If we begin requiring Python 3.7+, a few platforms are going to need to install an additional Python interpreter package. As a courtesy to the user, suggest the optional package they might need to install. This will hopefully minimize any downtime caused by the change in Python dependency.
