No, there is no hard requirement; the shebang still is not standardized AFAIK. A single space is probably the most portable choice, however. It would not be hard to allow arbitrary whitespace, but I think documenting the restriction is sufficient. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
