netfilter buglog - Nov 2020 - [Bug 1484] New: configure script fails to detect python3

https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1484

            Bug ID: 1484
           Summary: configure script fails to detect python3
           Product: nftables
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Debian GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: nft
          Assignee: pablo at netfilter.org
          Reporter: vtolkm at gmail.com

build node:
* x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with kernel 5.9.7
* gcc 10.2.0 (Debian 10.2.0-16)
* bison (GNU Bison) 3.7.3
* Python 3.8.6

the script (sh configure) fails to detect the installation of python3 and
prints instead:

checking for python... no
checking for python2... no
checking for python2.7... no
configure: WARNING: Python not found, continuing anyway

The system's python binary:

#command -V python3
python3 is hashed (/usr/bin/python3)

vs.

#command -V python
bash: command: python: not found

add detection for python3

with the patch applied the script prints:

checking for python... no
checking for python2... no
checking for python2.7... no
checking for python3... /usr/bin/python3
nft configuration:
  enable Python:                yes (with /usr/bin/python3)
