Hi!

The std. way to invoke the Python interpreter is: "#!/usr/bin/env python".=20
But, none of our lang/python* packages installs a ${PREFIX}/bin/python.=20
Only the pythonX.Y (eg. python2.2) binaries are installed. Because of the=20
"PYTHON_PATCH_SCRIPTS" Makefile knob (lang/python/application.mk) this=20
isn't a problem for pkgsrc managed packages, but it breaks 3rd party apps=20
which rely on the (std) "... env python". To fix this we should IMHO change =

the INSTALL_TARGET from the latest Python to "install" which will give us=20
"bin/python" and "bin/python2.2".

Regards,
Marc
