I think it makes sense. I have a use case for your fix. Gentoo's py.test ebuild is currently not very useful if you have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed, because it makes /usr/bin/py.test point to Python 3 regardless of which version the user's has picked as the default Python using Gentoo's python-config. (IMO this is a bug, which I reported, but it was closed as wontfix.) I ended up having to keep Gentoo from installing Python 3 to keep them from breaking py.test. Your fix should make it easier for distros to let the scripts for multiple Python versions to coexist. -- David Ripton drip...@ripton.net _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
