Several sub commands tried on their own
to locate python, given I wanted to look
in several locations for a broader libdir
compatibility this is best done in a
central location.
Python 3.9 is still preferred, but if
3.10-3.12 are available that be accepted
as well.
note: this is about the python version
make.bat uses to run various python helper
scripts, this change has no influence on
the python version blender itself uses.
SVN takes a long time to sync even if there are no updates,
the `code_update` parameter gives the option opt out of the
SVN updates.
This is a developer option, people just wanting to build
blender and not do any development are highly recommended
to keep using the `update` method.
make.bat was starting to become hard to maintain, this refactors it into separate batch files for each stage of the process.
