Some grep results from Zope HEAD:

And many tests, some of them still with python1.5, e.g.

lib\python\TAL\tests\run.py: #! /usr/bin/env python1.5

Could we have a policy for this? I guess '#! /usr/bin/env python' is easier to keep up to date ...


-1. We should specify the required minimum version everywhere.

I'm fine with that.


The 'env' hack is evil because it pretends to be flexible, while still leaving you vulnerable to strangeness.

Is there a better alternative than the 'env hack'?


(I had to google to find out what you mean by 'env hack' and found <http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/1406>, but nothing about better solutions.)

BTW, the space after the '!' should go, too; it is not guaranteed to be honored by all shells.

Good to know.


So you propose to replace *all* the #! lines by

#!/usr/bin/env python2.3

Right?


Cheers, Yuppie
