Bug 521904

Event posted on 09-08-2009 12:34pm EDT by kbaxley

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, system-switch-mail in RHEL5 has at least one instance of a
python script containing #!/usr/bin/env python.  

For example:

/usr/share/system-switch-mail/switchmail_tui.py in system-switch-mail-0.5.25-12
/usr/share/system-switch-mail/switchmail_gui.py in system-switch-mail-gnome-0.5.25-12

# head -1 /usr/share/system-switch-mail/switchmail_tui.py
#! /usr/bin/env python
