I think I'm the leading force on the systempython variants. Sorry, I just copied the .info files, so I might not have changed the maintainer. I'm happy to replace it with me. I'm not particular what the mechanism is, as long as /usr/bin/python can easily find the libs in /sw/Library/Python/.

I would argue very strongly that fink should NEVER be modifying the behavior of anything that is run like that. If I set my path to have fink first and fink has a FINKROOT/bin/python bin that is systempython, then okay. I would consider it okay to then me modifying the behavior of either of th

What about a wrapper that sits next to FINKROOT/bin/python?.? that sets the PYTHONPATH and then passes the buck to /usr/bin/python? On Oct 4, 2013, at 1:51 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > > I think I'm the leading force on the systempython variants. Sorry, I just > copied the .info files

2013-10-04 Thread Kurt Schwehr
Hanspeter, I whole heartedly agree. I have nothing to do with the -systempython variants. I agree that it is a bad idea to set PYTHONPATH! Additionally, putting me down as the maintainer for this type of thing isn't the best either. Please set yourself as maintainer when forking packages for

[Fink-devel] Fink package uses PYTHONPATH in RuntimeVars

2013-10-04 Thread Hanspeter Niederstrasser
Dear Fink developer: Fink-git now has a validator check to make sure that PYTHONPATH is not set in RuntimeVars as this will almost assuredly break pythonmods that use a different python and accidentally pick up a mod due to PYTHONPATH being set. The following pythonmods in the 10.4 and 10.7 tr
