What is the best approach for launching a Python GUI program on a Linux platform. The program will be distributed in .deb format. So the .deb will contain a menu file as well as a .desktop file. The post install script will update the system menu.
My question is how should the program be executed? Here are two choices for the "command=" entry in the menu file... command="/path/to/program.py" In this case the hash-bang would have to be included in the program script... #!/usr/bin/env python3 The other choice is this... command="python3 /path/to/program.py" (Of course, the Exec command in the .desktop file should match.) Is one method better than the other or does it acutally matter? -- <Wildman> GNU/Linux user #557453 "There are only 10 types of people in the world... those who understand Binary and those who don't." -Spike -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
