nbdkit >= 1.8 exports the Python version in ‘--dump-plugin’ output:
$ nbdkit python --dump-plugin
...
python_version=2.7.15
And where it's available, the PEP-384 ABI version:
$ nbdkit python3 --dump-plugin
...
python_version=3.7.2
python_pep_384_abi_version=3
I will try to see if we can parse this easily ...
I started to write something along these lines and I hate it already.
However then I wondered: shouldn't all of this be ./configure options,
eg:
./configure --with-virt-v2v-python-interpreter=/usr/bin/python3 \
--with-virt-v2v-nbdkit-python=python3
or something similar?
