Well, I switched "python" to 2.0 some time ago on Debian, and I've had
very few problems (pysol is the only one I can remember).
Of course, I'm sure there are packages I don't use that do cause these
problems.
A general "change the first line of everything" script would probably
be useful anyway -- some systems have broken /usr/bin/env's anyway.
It could be something like:
import os, sys, string
def changeAll(dir, replaceFirst):
for filename in os.listdir(dir):
filename = os.path.join(dir, filename)
if filename[-3:] == ".py":
l = open(filename).readline()
if l[:2] == "#!" and string.find(l, "python") != -1:
fixup(filename, replaceFirst)
if os.path.isdir(filename):
changeAll(filename)
def fixup(filename, replaceFirst):
f = open(filename)
l = f.readline()
rest = f.read()
f.close()
assert l[:2] == "#!"
newl = "#!" + replaceFirst
os.unlink(filename)
f = open(filename, "w")
f.write(newl)
f.write(rest)
f.close()
print "updated %s" % filename
if __name__ == "__main__":
if not sys.argv[1:]:
print "Usage: fixup '/path/to/python' [directories]"
sys.exit()
replacer = sys.argv[1]
rootDirs = sys.argv[2:] or ["."]
for dir in rootDir:
changeAll(dir)
