Is it possible that python is installed not in /usr/bin but in, say, /
usr/local/bin?
I'd suggest you try 'which python' to find out where it is. On my OS
X, for instance:
$ which python
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python

Hello,
Scripts that have "#!/usr/bin/python" at the top do not parse
correctly. Bash treats scripts with that shebang as if they are bash
scripts.
E.g.:
bla...@attila ~/apps/rs-mu $ /usr/sbin/env-update
/usr/sbin/env-update: line 6: import: command not found
/usr/sbin/env-update: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/usr/sbin/env-update: line 8: `def usage(status):'
Scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" at the top work fine. In fact,
`python` and `env python` both bring me to a python interpreter.
I've tried other types of scripts. #!/bin/bash works, #!/usr/bin/perl
works, #!/usr/bin/ruby works, etc. (and so do their #!/usr/bin/env
<interpreter> counterparts.) Because of this, I'm not sure if it is a
Python issue or a system issue.
Any and all advice appreciated, thanks.
P.S. some system info:
bla...@attila ~/apps/rs-mu $ uname -a
