[gtk-osx-users] ITSTool building error with Python built before.

[Pascal <p p14 orange fr>]

Hello,

I've made a fresh gtk-osx install with:
  jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-osx
  jhbuild build pygments
  jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap

I've got this error:

*** Configuring libxml2 *** [5/9]

itstool configure is unfortunately using $PYTHON:
        if test -n "$PYTHON"; then
      # If the user set $PYTHON, use it and don't search something else.

which is set to (in jhbuild env):
PYTHON=/Users/me/2022a/src-2022/.new_local/share/virtualenvs/etc-Mg3srn31/bin/python3

This PYTHON variable wasn't set in January'22 the last time I ran jhbuild.
Thus itstool was built ok.

What could be a workaround?

Thanks, Pascal.
