Description James G. Brown III 2009-09-04 16:23:38 UTC

"There's a project underway in Fedora 12 to finally resolve the issues
with Red Hat including #!/usr/bin/env python in our python executables:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemPythonExecutablesUseSystemPython

There's also a Fedora bug opened on this, and comments in there state that this
is a big priority for RHEL6:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518994

For RHEL5, we've been instructed by Product Management to open bugs on a
package-by-package basis to address the problem.

In this case, switchdesk-gui in RHEL5 has at least one instance of a
python script containing #!/usr/bin/env python"
