Re: installation of scripts in the brave new Python world

Hello All:

As I was trying to implement the new Python policy, I noticed an effect
which is not directly addressed in the policy.  That is when a package
contains modules and scripts, there have to be special precautions taken
to make sure that the scripts are not installed with a first line of

        #!/usr/bin/pythonX.Y

instead of #!/usr/bin/python

(...)

How it's that different than patch the source packages to
s/python2.4/python/ as we do actually in some cases or replacing to
python2.3 when it isn't 2.4 compatible code?
