Hi all,
I've opened https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28881 "meld uses wrong shebang" some time ago. The description reads:
,---- | meld uses "#! /usr/bin/env python2" as shebang. It should use "#! | /usr/bin/python2". `----
The bug has been closed as "Not a bug" and "Works fine as-is". I've tried to reopen it, which has been denied, with the following comment:
,---- | Reason for denial: | Avoid using virtualenvs or install pygtk in them. `----
actually I originally switched to arch to have pygtk available for the python version in use. but this is just marginally related to your issue, which is IMO sufficiently invalidated by [1]. #!/usr/bin/env python2 and #!python2 in my experience have exactly the same effect, so all I can do is ask you what differences you found and then we could discuss how to work them around. A good proof of concept / educating experiment in that context would be to try running a python and pygtk fully in your home directory and without the repo versions present; if you have questions, please come back here with more factual questions. I'll gladly help you out. cheers! mar77i [1] http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/
