Agreed. For the majority of users, if not for all of them, using the python version of NEST as default should be correct.
Ok, great. I quickly tested this and implemented the following behavior:
I think this change makes the installation smoother but does not reduce the flexibility. We also have to adapt the REAMDE and wiki pages. I will make a PR later.
I would suggest to change the default behavior of the installation script to take the Python version from the nest installation.
nest-config
recently introduced the feature to access the python version and path, so it should be quite easy to adapt the cmake script. Since in all practical cases the python version of SPORE and NEST should be the same this is more convenient for most users. We can still allow to overwrite the default using `-Dwith-python'.see:
