If you're distributing software intended to be used on a wide range of OSes and you're building your distributions with non-OS tools, then I think this is fine and Debian (starting with Jessie) will let you do this. So there's no problem needing fixing. >The Debian python policy should require that.

Again, I think it's no big deal that the Debian tools use /usr/bin/python in the shebang for Python 2 scripts. Debian tools and policy are about building great software for *Debian* and its derivatives, not for building cross platform scripts. If you're looking for cross-platform support look upstream, at setuptools, pip, virtualenv, and that ecosystem. -Barry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
