That reasoning assumes that the maintainer's Debian package would only be used in Debian, and that it is best to work with Debian's own python. I think that is limited - The flexibility of /usr/bin/env is particularly useful when you need to support other distributions or unixes. _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
