From 4deeaf2a3ee50b096426eea41a4c9b96ded0f029 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: George Dunlap Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2019 12:48:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] README: Document python2 dependency Much of the tools and configure makefile actually have a python2 dependency; specify this. It also assumes that `python` points to `python2`; document how to work around this on systems where this is false. Also update second version requirement listed to match the first.
