New submission from David Ripton <d+pyt...@ripton.net>: When Python 2.x is manually installed on Linux, a python2 symlink is created, like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 24 00:03 /usr/bin/python2 -> python2.6 ("make install" updates the symlink; "make altinstall" does not). When Python 3.x is installed, no python3 symlink is created. For Python 2.x, one had a choice of #!/usr/bin/python, #!/usr/bin/python2, or #!/usr/bin/python2.6 for shebang line. For Python 3.x, the middle choice is lost. This seems like a small regression. ---------- components: Installation message_count: 1.0 messages: 83400 nosy: dripton nosy_count: 1.0 severity: normal status: open title: python3 symlink type: feature request versions: Python 3.0, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5461> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
