Making a shorter shebang

Long story short, in order to use Python 2.5, I've compiled it in my own account on my hosting. It works fantastic as /home/my_username/python2.5, but the shebang is a bit long. Is there a way to shorten it (environment variables?) or, even better, make /usr/bin/env python point to it? Thanks in a

Re: Making a shorter shebang

/usr/bin/env just searches your PATH variable to find it, but it does so in order. So, if you want it to find your python instead of a system provided one, just alter your PATH variable and put /home/my_username/python2.5 in front of everything else. example in .profile: PATH=/home//python2.5:$P

problem with the 'math' module in 2.5?

>>> from math import * >>> sin(0) 0.0 >>> sin(pi) 1.2246063538223773e-016 >>> sin(2*pi) -2.4492127076447545e-016 >>> cos(0) 1.0 >>> cos(pi) -1.0 >>> cos(2*pi) 1.0 The cosine function works fine, but I'm getting weird answers for sine. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? -- http://mail.pyt

sin(pi*0.5) is what I expected, but I expected to get 0 for sin(pi). Max Erickson wrote: > "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > from math import * > sin(0) > > 0.0 > sin(pi) > > 1.2246063538223773e-016 > sin(2*pi) > > -2.4492127076447545e-016 > cos(0) > > 1.0 > cos(

Re: problem with the 'math' module in 2.5?

I don't understand what that number came from. My calculator gives me cos(pi*.5) = 0, and my interpreter gives me cos(pi*0.5) = 6.1230317691118863e-017. Max Erickson wrote: > Max Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Try sin(pi*0.5) to see similar behavior to cos(pi) or cos(pi*2). > > > >

Re: problem with the 'math' module in 2.5?

Oh, ok that explains it. Is that why my 16-bit calculator gives me 0?
