setuptools doesn't modify the shebang in the script -- it constructs the entire script when told to, at install time, on the basis of its entry_points declaration and the version of python actually being run (see get_script_header() in setuptools/commands/easy_install.py ). Therefore order-of-python-running is important for setuptools script installation, because the last one wins. So, the default python should run last during the install stage. I did test and confirm that my patch as originally submitted fixes this issue. The winpdb issue is different I am responding directly to #547510 on that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
