Re: .py suffixed scripts to /usr/bin/

[Jonathan Dowland <jmtd@debian.org>]

Urgh. How about installing the .py to a private directory (under
/usr/share say?) and creating non-suffixed symlinks in /usr/bin. You
could document that the user could/should prefix the /usr/share dir
in their $PATH if they need to rely on the .py names existing,
perhaps even provide a small helper script to support that if it is
likely to be important. (assuming whatever might rely on the .py
suffixes also relies on $PATH and doesn't hardcode
/usr/bin/something.py in its entirety.)
