#!/usr/bin/python returns errors

[Kacper Krupa]

Hello,

#!/usr/bin/python returns errors on my mac. I had to change it to #!/
usr/bin/env python. I think you shoud replace it.

Thanks.

if you do

which python

at the command line what do you get?

How it is now has always worked on my macs.

Do you have something weird set in your .bashrc?

Time for archive and install?

#!/usr/bin/env python should be the normal setting for *nix
environments. The idea is that running env sets the appropriate path
for which to find the latest version of "python" If that line doesn't
work, then you should fix the environment path, not the first line in
your scripts.

It's 'cos i have another python on /usr/lib/python. When i've added #!/
usr/bin/env python it choose python from PYTHONPATH.

I've created symbolic link. It works but using /usr/bin/env python is
better i think.

Those lines were put there by PythonTidy so I assume we should not
change them. What does pep8 say?

I suppose I could be a little more helpful. PEP 8 says nothing WRT
this. Wikipedia seems to suggest using '/usr/bin/env python' is a good
idea.

Interesting. It reminds me of the web sites out there these days that
look like a legitimate spyware scanner, but if you simply go to these
pages your system gets malware/trojans installed (windows/internet
exploder)
