Log:
  Bug 6448 says the embedded Python stuff does not really work.
  And if I run Valgrind with Python enabled, I get pages of errors related to it.

  So: disable Python by default.

Could someone familiar with CMake tell me if this part of this change is correct?

-if(HAVE_LIBPYTHON)
+if(PYTHON_FOUND)
 	set(HAVE_PYTHON 1)
set(PYTHON_DIR "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/wireshark/python/${CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION}")
 endif()

Doing that was the only way I could allow enabling/disabling Python just by changing the default option value in CMakeOptions.txt .

That looks like a bug to me: Just setting ENABLE_PYTHON to =OFF shoud have been
sufficient.

You're right, of course: I tried it again and it worked fine now. Not sure what was going wrong before (operator error I'm sure!).

It seems to make sense to me because I find *no* other references to HAVE_LIBPYTHON in any of the CMake stuff, but then it's the same with the rest of the HAVE_LIB* variables...

This is "hidden" in cmakeconfig.h.in

Removing the pyhton interpreter was not correct: The python interpreter is
used in several places and it is different from libpython.

I've manually reverted the changes to CMakeLists.txt in 40605

Thanks!
