Marge Bot pushed to branch master at Glasgow Haskell Compiler / GHC Commits: 91f4faaa by Cheng Shao at 2025-08-20T11:53:43-04:00 configure: check python3 version and require minimal 3.7 Since !9515, the testsuite driver requires python3 version to be at least 3.7, though this has never been checked by configure logic. This patch implements the version check. Fixes #23234.
