this way we can "fix" only these scripts, that are shipped in official packages. Not the ones installed from other distributions (apt-pinning, etc.) or, which is my main point, the ones in /usr/local/ or /opt/ directories. If we cannot "fix" all of them, why bother? Once python2.X and python-defaults (which provides /usr/bin/python) packages are gone - we can update each interpreter packages to provide it using alternatives mechanism (with debug or pypy interpreters having lower priority) but ONLY when 2.X is no longer in Debian -- Piotr Ożarowski Debian GNU/Linux Developer www.ozarowski.pl www.griffith.cc www.debian.org GPG Fingerprint: 1D2F A898 58DA AF62 1786 2DF7 AEF6 F1A2 A745 7645 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
