Yes... if you look at the part of the patch that modifies Makefile.am, it's actually called with $(PYTHON) which will be python2 on distro's where python3 is the default. Unfortunately, on some distros there's no python2, so #!/usr/bin/env python2 won't work either... you can't please everyone. So the line you mentioned is more customary than anything else. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
