Hi folks, I spent about a day and a half tracking down a problem with virtualenv. As of virtualenv 1.6 (which is in wheezy), it *should* be possible to use python3 as a -p target. This fails because the way virtualenv re-invokes itself does not play nicely with our symlink farm.
All the gory details are here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=625785 I haven't thought of a good way to solve this problem yet, so I'm hoping someone here will have some thoughts on that. I'm highly motivated to fix this because I'm beginning to research Python 3 compatibility across Debian and Ubuntu packages (more on that soon). I also have patches to upgrade to virtualenv 1.6.1, which is the latest upstream, and which now supports pypy 1.5. Some of the debian/patches need updating, but I'd like to solve bug 625785 first. Cheers, -Barry
