Speaking of shebang lines, there's problems with setuptools shebang lines on Jython. Unfortunately it's going to require another patch or two to setuptools.
The problem being that Jython's executable is a .sh or .bat file (that'll invoke java), and interpreters in shebang lines can't be interpreter files, i.e. another script. Running a .py script that shebangs the Jython .sh executable directly will result in something along the lines of a "test.py: line 2 import command not found" sh error. For posix, we'll just need to special case Jython on posix to make a shebang along the lines of: #!/usr/bin/env /opt/local/bin/jython Windows isn't as easy. setuptools' launcher.c similarly can't use a .bat file as the interpreter. A workaround would be to use cmd.exe / c in the same way we'll use /usr/bin/env on posix. launcher.c currently can't handle this, though, the problem being it can't correctly quote the cmd.exe /c line correctly. With: #!c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c c:\jython2.2\jython.bat launcher.c ends up calling: "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" "/c" "c:\jython2.2\jython.bat" "c: \scripts\myscript-script.py" when we need: "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" /c ""c:\jython2.2\jython.bat" "c: \scripts\myscript-script.py"" which is another set of quotes around the entire /c arg, and yes no quotes around /c (I have no idea why "/c" doesn't work). I guess we would have to patch launcher.c to deal with this special situation or make a custom version for Jython. That's pretty awful -- might anyone have a simpler way of handling this? -- Philip Jenvey _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
