I would like to build PDAL with both together support for Python2 and Python3 bindings (on Ubuntu 16.04).

PDAL support is an OR statement

Fig. 1: Screenshot of the Python stuff within cmake-gui.

How could I achieve this?
If a re-compile with Python3 support I end up with such error message when installing, so I have to uninstall it before, which will uninstall the Python2 bindings... :

Selecting previously unselected package pdal-1.7.1-py3.
(Reading database ... 546498 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../pdal-1.7.1-py3_20180920-1_amd64.deb ...

  • I doubt your goal is achievable. Namespace collisions make it unlikely that this is possible.

This is not currently possible because of the way PDAL embeds Python. A future release may change this situation, but PDAL at the moment compiles against the Python and Numpy headers and they cannot mix versions.

  • Note this was fixed as of PDAL 2.1. The Python support for PDAL is now available via PyPI and requires scikit-build to install.
