Thread: [Pythoncard-users] Unix Python path

Right now, all our samples have:
#!/usr/bin/python

should we change them to:

#!/usr/bin/env python

It looks like the latter is preferred.

Also, if we do distutils will that allow us to automatically set the execute
bit ('chmod +x scriptfile') on all the samples?

Yes.  distutils should also automatically mangle the #! lines, too.
distutils is good(tm).

Cheers,

No. The path depends on the distribution and Distutils are
capable of mending it to the needs.

env doesn't allow to add an argument.

It really just depends on where Python is installed on the *nix machine 
in question. I've seen some people say that Python is *usually* 
installed to some particular directory on *nix machines, but I've seen 
quite a few different Python directories.

My webserver uses /usr/bin/python1.5 (The 1.5 is because ever since the 
company that hosts Useless Python was recently sold, and nobody admits 
to being the one who is doing the hosting. The upside is that we have 
free hosting. The downside is we'd rather pay our bills and get that 
upgrade to Python 2.x so I can write new scripts to automate the site.).

And while I'm here, I'll introduce myself. I'm Rob from Useless Python. 
I don't think we have a link to PythonCard resources on Useless yet, but 
we'll be glad to set one up or help out in any way we can. For instance, 
if anyone would like to contribute something made with PythonCard, or a 
source file related to it in some way, a plug with a link can be 
inserted into the file description (Made with PythonCard!, or similar?).

For those to whom the holiday applies,
Happy Labor Day weekend,
Rob
