/usr/bin/env python or python2

Sweeper · 2011-08-04 11:48:07

My old python scripts wont work becaulse of the "/usr/bin/env python" shabang line. How to safely change this, so that i wont have to replace shabang in all my scripts to "/usr/bin/env python2"?

Thanx

Change to a distro that uses python2 as /usr/bin/python.

You can use sed to easily do the replacing.

Thanx. Problem is - next time i try a new distro (as Allan suggested), I'll have to replace them again. Is there some other way?

When this gets moved from draft, you can tell the other distro to provide a python2 symlink (or just do it yourself) - http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
