Package: pythoncard
Version: 0.8.1-8.1

Hi,

The wrapper scripts shipped in pythoncard look like the following:

dir=/usr/share/python-support/python-pythoncard/PythonCard/tools/findfiles
if [ -d $dir ]; then
   exec /usr/bin/python $dir/findfiles.py "$@"

With the upcoming version of python-support (currently in experimental),
these scripts will stop working, since the files are now moved to a
different directory (/usr/share/pyshared). The current package will
still work, but as soon as it is rebuilt, the .deb produced will be
non-functional.

Since these scripts are installed into public modules directories, I
suggest to use the following syntax instead:
        exec python -m PythonCard.tools.findfiles.findfiles
This avoids to depend on the location of the installed scripts.

As a general rule, please do not rely on the internals of python-support
in the packaging; this will avoid such issues in the future (although
hopefully there won’t be a need to change the paths any further).

Thanks,
