Re: #!/usr/bin/python2.3 vs #!/usr/bin/env python2.3
Quoting John Goerzen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, Many Python programs use constructs like #!/usr/bin/env python2.3 to load themselves. Many others use #!/usr/bin/python2.3. On most Debian systems, these are the same. The submitter in #189473 claims that #!/usr/bin/env python2.3 is wrong because he has his own python2.3 on the path prior to the system's, and it doesn't necessarily have requisite libraries for the programs being run. #!/usr/bin/env python2.3 helps programs running everywhere, i.e. they will work with people that installed python in /usr/local/bin for instance. -- Jérôme Marant

Hmm, after reading everyone's arguments, it seems wiser to use #!/usr/bin/python2.3 in order to avoid mixing with local python installs. -- Jérôme Marant
Re: python transition and python-xml
Quoting Sebastien Bacher [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Yesterday was saturday, and I don't read my mail on week ends. The updated package is in progress (i.e. pbuilder is running right now), and I have contacted Jerome Marant who's my usual sponstor (I'm not a DD). I was planning to ask someone on the list to sponsor the upload if I don't get an answer from him by tomorow, but if people think this is more urgent, please tell me if you want to sponsor the upload today, and I'll give you the URL where you can dowload the source package for python-xml and python-unit. Ok, no problem. If Jerome is away I can make the upload. I am available and reachable by mail even ;-) Still waiting. -- Jérôme Marant
