Description Philipp Riegger 2007-07-07 18:28:55 UTC

When trying to cross-compile the latest python it always fails due to a wrong check. "python -V" does not only print the version but also "Python " in front of it and it prints to stderr. The following patch should fix this:

Cross compiling fails never the less, but that's another thing.
