[Distutils] [Fwd: Re: [scons-devel] specifying python interpreter for #! in scons.py?]

[Chad Austin]

I'm not on the distutils-sig mailing list, so please CC me on any responses.

Is there a way to specify the command used to load Python in a script installed 
via distutils?  Distutils automatically adds #!<python> to the top of installed 
scripts, where <python> is an absolute path to the Python interpreter used to 
execute setup.py.  I'd like to be able to specify the #! command because I use a 
single installation of SCons on platforms with the 'python' command in different 
locations.  Is this possible?

Thanks much!
Chad

there is none (the relevant distutils command is 'build_scripts', in
case you want to have a look).

I'd suggest you address this issue on the distutils ML. Specifically,
I'd prefer distutils to (optionally) not touch the first line, and thus
giving the user the chance to put whatever he wants there. That'd offer
even more flexibility than the default '#!/usr/bin/env python'...
