    travis: force install of python2 into $PATH on macOS · c9c9fc90
    Daniel P. Berrangé 提交于
    The homebrew formula's ignored Python PEP-0394 recommendations and
    changed the plain python binary in /usr/local/bin to point to Python 3
    instead of Python 2. Python 2 is not even installed into a location that
    is in $PATH by default anymore. The homebrew packages print a message
    to stderr claiming to provide a way to fix this
    
    [quote]
      This formula installs a python2 executable to /usr/local/opt/python@2/bin
    
      If you wish to have this formula's python executable in your PATH then add
    
      the following to ~/.bash_profile:
    
        export PATH="/usr/local/opt/python@2/libexec/bin:$PATH"
    [/quote]
    
    When trying to update $PATH are suggested we find out this message is a
    lie and /usr/local/opt/python@2 does not even exist, instead Python
    seems to end up in /usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.14_1
    
    Rather than hardcoding this version specific directory in our travis
    config, we change to run "brew link --force python@2", to make it create
    symlinks in /usr/local/bin for the python2 binary.
    
    The original change triggering this problem was
    
      https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/24604#issue-171653084
    
    There are countless bug reports against homebrew-core that are closed
    without fixes, so it seems they are determined to ignore the Python
    PEP 0394 recommendations on this.
