FWIW, I think we actually do this better on Windows these days, where PEP 397 made "py" a switchable entry point. I'd like to bring the same scheme to POSIX systems at some point, but that's a *long* way down the todo list (like, so far down I can't even see it any more). I'd be willing to review proposals, though :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
