The old text was incorrect and came from the 2.0 release. LyX works fine if
the default python interpreter is python 3, as long as python 2 is available
as well.
Building LyX does also work with python 3, but since I did not check all
special build steps with both cmake and autotools, I kept a note about
possible problems.
The aim of the tutorial is to explain how to use LyX and not special LaTeX issues with \frontmatter, non-TeX fonts etc. Therefore the preamble should kept clean.
We ensure that configure.py is called by python2, regardless whether 'python'
is python 2 or 3. Therefore we can simply call TeXFiles.py with the currently
running interpreter. This fixes configuration on systems where 'python' is
python 3.
The difference has been validated with diffpdf.

The following is the script that I used (in lib/examples):
LYX=../../build/src/lyx
$LYX -E pdf2 $1.old.pdf $1
sed -i "s/^\\\\begin_inset Separator parbreak$/\\\\begin_inset Separator plain/" $1
sed -i "/^\\\\begin_inset Separator latexpar$/ { N; d; }" $1
$LYX -e lyx $1
$LYX -E pdf2 $1.pdf $1
diffpdf $1.old.pdf $1.pdf

We do not currently handle UTF-8 characters in our layout strings.
Replace dashes with simple ASCII dashes to avoid the following
error:
msguniq -o lyx.po
msguniq: input file '-' doesn't contain a header entry with a
charset specification
This commit amends the recent commit b4dcad83.
This was discussed in the thread "Translations of Math environments in LyX
output for LyX 2.2" at http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-docs@lists.lyx.org/msg08633.html
and has been reviewed. The problem was that in 2.1, the portuguese translation
was correct in lib/layouttranslations but different in po/pt_PT.po. In fact,
the translation is the same for all three languages spanish, portuguese and
brazilian portuguese.
This is the same as the parbreak separator and is represented on screen
as the old parbreak. Old parbreak separators are converted to latexpar
separators when they are used for introducing blank lines in the
latex output rather than for separating environments.
Instead, parbreak separators are now represented on screen by a
double line. In essence, latexpar and parbreak separators produce
the same output but are represented differently on screen.
The context menu does not account for latexpar separators and only
"true" separators can be turned each into the other one.
