Is a symptom of mixing python2 and python3.  If you build with

> make PYTHON=python3

Then you also need to to pass the same PYTHON= for all targets except 'distclean'.

That works perfectly, thanks.

which as you found, is a shorthand for:

I added a note to the 'building' section of the docs this afternoon as you're not the only one
seeing this.


Thanks for the test results.
