Re: [orca-list] Is it possible to specify the python installation to be used when compiling orca?

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Yes, many Arch packages had to be changed to include this option in
their PKGBUILD scripts.  If you pull the orca-git package from AUR,
this has been done.  I also have a change that I have been making
manually to enable use of speech dispatcher as a system service.  I
almost confused that change with your issue but your issue of python2
is covered in the orca-git PKGBUILD script.
