FYI
Unpacked the python3 tar ball and it seems that the files: Lib/cgi.py T
and Tools/pybench/pybench.py contain a bang line of !/usr/local/bin/python
I don't know if it causes any errors, but the patched version I complied
is working so far as I use python3 with rpm package manager
I found the following tid bit in a rpm source file that i found looking
on the internet and used it to patch the files
#removing reference to /usr/local/bin/python within
#files to avoid a false dependencies
sed -i \
-e 's:^#!./usr/local/bin/python:#!/usr/bin/python:' \
-e 's:^#!/usr/local/bin/python:#!/usr/bin/python:' \
Lib/cgi.py \
Tools/pybench/pybench.py
Here is what I did
sed -i \
-e 's:^#!./usr/local/bin/python:#!/usr/bin/python:' \
-e 's:^#!/usr/local/bin/python:#!/usr/bin/python:' \
Lib/cgi.py \
Tools/pybench/pybench.py
./configure \
--prefix=%{_prefix} \
--enable-shared \
--with-system-expat \
--with-system-ffi \
--with-ensurepip=yes
First of all, you can make the sed a lot simplier:
sed -i '/^#!.*local\//s|local/||' Lib/cgi.py Tools/pybench/pybench.py
or even
sed -i '1 s|local/||' Lib/cgi.py Tools/pybench/pybench.py
Second, pybench.py is not installed by default.
Third, there is this:
# NOTE: the above "/usr/local/bin/python" is NOT a mistake. It is
# intentionally NOT "/usr/bin/env python". On many systems
# (e.g. Solaris), /usr/local/bin is not in $PATH as passed to CGI
# scripts, and /usr/local/bin is the default directory where Python is
# installed, so /usr/bin/env would be unable to find python. Granted,
# binary installations by Linux vendors often install Python in
# /usr/bin. So let those vendors patch cgi.py to match their choice
# of installation.
Finally, I'll note that this is the first come this has come up. cgi.py
is for using cgi type capabilities when creating scripts for a web
server. This has been deprecated for quite a few years now. The only
reason is is still in Python at all is for legacy web sites.
If users need this, they should be able to figure it out on their own.
