Hello! since port freeze is fast approching, I'ld report some problems I've found in current port of Python 2.3.x a) Python 2.3.5 is out since few weeks now, would be nice to have port upgraded to it ;) (it's still 2.3.4) b) The main python executable is installed in /usr/local/bin/ as "python2.3" and not the usual "python". I don't know if this is wanted (maybe for co-existance with Python 2.4 ?) or not, but I know this setup currently "broke" some other ports since they can't no more find python. Example, I tried to install mod_python (2.7.11) and its port tried to download Python 2.4 (probably because it looked for $PYTHONCMD) A simple symlink between "python2.3" and "python" seems to be enough to resolve this issue. Also, AFAIK every python script just look for "python" in #! script line. What about a WITHOUT_PYTHON23_NAME knob ? ;) Many thanks in advance! -- bye! Ale
