Summary0012133: FindPythonLibs finds wrong stuff with CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
DescriptionIf I set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH environment variable to the root of some python installation, FindPythonLibs still finds the system install python libraries instead. If I remove the system ones, then it finds the ones I want. If I remove the system ones and unset CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, then it fails.

So anyway, CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH should have priority.

This report was originally about finding python on linux. I have a more difficult time on windows with multiple python installations. Its bad enough that i get includes from one and libraries from another. I end up having to specify all python variables myself which defeats the purpose of it being found for me, or being found with some hint.

Can we please make CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH work on windows?
