+Subject: [PATCH 17/22] Find also Python3 with find_package(PythonInterp)
+
+At least with openSUSE TW searching with a version given seems to restrict
+the versions accepted to the major version.
+So if only python3 is available, searching for 2.6 yields no results.
+Given 2.6 is stone-age old, we can assume any found version is good enough
+these days.
