.. versionadded:: 3.15

Modules :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2` and :module:`FindPython`
use ``LOCATION`` for lookup strategy.

Starting with CMake 3.15, Modules :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2`
and :module:`FindPython` set value ``LOCATION`` for, respectively, variables
``Python3_FIND_STRATEGY``, ``Python2_FIND_STRATEGY`` and
``Python_FIND_STRATEGY``. This policy provides compatibility with projects that
expect the legacy behavior.

The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy set value ``VERSION`` for variables
``Python3_FIND_STRATEGY``, ``Python2_FIND_STRATEGY`` and
``Python_FIND_STRATEGY``.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.15.  Use the
:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn
when this policy is not set and simply uses the ``OLD`` behavior.
