conda environment not respected

[dellaert]

When I do cmake in a given conda environment, somehow it does not pick on that and I have to manually change python executable and version. (I needed a 3.8 version, are we requiring a higher version anywhere, and if so why?)

You need to remove the build folder and redo CMake after you switch.

I do think this is abnormal, but again this depends on how CMake is searching for the Python library. I would try https://stackoverflow.com/a/36439709 first.

So, it's my problem, not wrap's :-) ?

Same problem!

cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/Users/dellaert/miniforge3/envs/py310/bin/python ..

worked again. HOWEVER, to me, if you are in a conda environment when executing cmake.., it should use that environment's interpreter. Same for other environment managers.
