New submission from Malte Kliemann <m...@maltekliemann.com>:
It is common practice to use no extension for python scripts on UNIX. In 3.8.1.4., it is hinted that a script with a shebang line can be executed on windows only if the file extension of the script is associated with the python launcher. I'm not sure where the right place is, but I suggest clearly stating that this is a critical requirement. As scripts on UNIX usually don't use file extensions, using these scripts without further modification is not possible cross-platform. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 395875 nosy: docs@python, maltekliemann priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: File extension for scripts on windows is unclear type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44427> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
