Set shebang line to default (instead of latest) Python 3 interpreter
Howdy all, How can I convince ‘dh_python3’ to set the shebang to the *default* Python 3 interpreter? The way the ‘dh_python3’ tool works (by default?), it will write the shebang with the full “/usr/bin/python3.X” where “3.X” is whichever version of Python was used to invoke the install. For bug#736121 URL:http://bugs.debian.org/736121 I need to convince the Debian packaging to create a program whose shebang has ‘/usr/bin/python3’, or in some other way get the default Python 3. The behaviour of ‘dh_python3’ in this regard is pretty hard to follow, even when I read the source. How can I convince it to use a specific Python version, or the default Python 3 version, or even a specific shebang, for writing one particular program? -- \ “Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?” “Well, I think | `\ so, Brain, but ‘apply North Pole’ to what?” —_Pinky and The | _o__) Brain_ | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
