Hi all,
I've made some changes to the draft PEP and checked it into the PEP
repository as PEP397. The reference implementation is currently being
tracked at http://bugs.python.org/issue11629.
Hey Mark,
One way of supporting alternative implementations (that may not even have a
standard install directory) is allowing configuration. e.g. config.ini
[paths]
ironpython = c:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe
ironpython2.7 = c:\Program Files\IronPython 2.7\ipy.exe
jython = c:\Users\foobar\jython2.5\jython.exe
Pythons specified in this way should be recognised in the shebang line using
any of the formats:
#! ironpython
#! /usr/bin/ironpython
#! /usr/bin/env ironpython
This would also permit alternative install locations. (And it would be nice
if the launcher could use the config file to *automatically* do the right
thing for the 'w' variants.)
All the best,
Michael
Oops...I accidentally sent this off-list:
The main problem I can think of for the config file is that those hard
coded paths probably won't work about 10% of the time. I install my
Python stuff in a different location then the C drive, for example.
How is that a problem? Just update your config for your locations.
