Build OpenCV for Python

edit

Dears,

I'm trying to build OpenCV including with CMAKE option "BUILD_opencv_python2" - I finshed always with errors:

CMAKE configurtion says:

Detected version of GNU GCC: 53 (503)
CUDA compilation is disabled (due to only Visual Studio compiler supported on your platform).
Could NOT find PythonInterp: Found unsuitable version "2.7.10", but required is at least "3.4" (found C:/Python27/python.exe)
Could NOT find PythonInterp: Found unsuitable version "2.7.10", but required is at least "3.2" (found C:/Python27/python.exe)

  Python 2:
    Interpreter:                 C:/Python27/python.exe (ver 2.7.10)
    Libraries:                   C:/Python27/libs/libpython27.a (ver 2.7.10+)
    numpy:                       C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages/numpy/core/include (ver 1.9.2)
    packages path:               C:/Python27/Lib/site-packages

  Python (for build):            C:/Python27/python.exe

I have installed python, numpy - it's working.

First question: Do not understand why CMAKE says: Found unsuitable version "2.7.10", but required is at least "3.4" ?

Secondly - when "make" runs to build it ends up with:
