configure: error: empy not detected despite being installed

empy is required

Although I have installed empy pip install empy and pip3 install empy.
When I tried running autogen.sh, empy is required error keeps on showing.

checking for empy... no
checking for empy3... no
configure: error: empy is required

The empy check is deficient, this is a known problem, as there is an incorrect assumption that a empy binary exists, in the existing check, which is distribution-centric. You don't specifiy whether you're compiling from HEAD or a released version of Sugar. Do you know which version you're trying to compile?

Duplicate of #882.

I've asked for testing on that issue, and I'm waiting for a response. Please get involved.

The response you asked for is right under your nose.

The Path was bit different, However, it worked. 👍
Shouldn't this be the default configuration?

That's great, thanks. Yes, the default will change, but question is what to change. See discussion in #882 and contribute if you are able.
