@silmaril itβs decided at build/compile time. LabPlot is using Cantor internally and when Cantor is being built, the shared libraries of Python that are found in the labrary path are used and linked to. This basically fixes the version of Python used in labplot/cantor.
LabPlot
"CAS" generally stands for a "Computer Algebra System". It encompasses statistical packages and programming languages like #Maxima, #Octave, #R, #Scilab, #Sage, #KAlgebra, #Qalculate!, #Python, #Julia, #Lua. You can use them all concurrently in multiple #LabPlot's notebooks.
Please, see the attached screenshot. In this case, Python 3.12.3 is available in LabPlot on a Ubuntu machine.
@silmaril unfortunately this is more complicatedβ¦ weβre not communicating with the binary like this is the case for example for Maxima and Octave but embedding the interpreter at runtime. So, our binaries are linked to pythonβs shared library. This is done at build step and this is the reason why we can only work with the βsystem versionβ of Python. This is an important topic that was raised to us already multiple times and we hope we can start working on it in the near future.
@silmaril actually we support Python3 only and the documentation is probably outdated. Where did you read pyrhon2?

@silmaril this is correct at the moment. Clearly, this not what people want to have usually and we need to change this.
To determine the required version, you can check the dependencies of executable βcantor_pyrhonserverβ on Linux either in your package manager or with ldd. For windows we compile and ship everything and document the required version of python in our FAQ.
