It is, and it isn't. It's different because you can always explicitly override the shebang line if needed. So if a local admin really needed to override $PYTHONPATH (though I can't come up with a use case right now), they could just: $ python3 -s /usr/bin/foo >Was there some discussion of -E specifically in Debian where it was >consciously decided that PYTHONPATH was not analagous or that the benefit >risk was different than for those other env vars? I'd have to go digging around the archives. It wasn't a recent discussion IIRC. Cheers, -Barry
