Setting up PyCall

The airfoilprep.py package (wrapped by the AirfoilPrep.jl package) is written in Python 3.8, so make sure that the Python version linked to PyCall.jl is 3.8. After installing PyCall (] add PyCall), you can do this by running the following:

import Pkg
Pkg.add("PyCall")
ENV["PYTHON"] = "path/to/your/python3"
Pkg.build("PyCall")

Then close and reopen the Julia REPL, and run:

import PyCall
PyCall.pyversion

which should reveal your Python version:

v"3.8"
