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, gimp in RHEL5 has at least one python executable containing #!/usr/bin/env python

Comment 2 Nils Philippsen 2013-04-19 15:44:21 UTC

This is a purely cosmetic issue. GIMP maps script hashbangs to a fixed interpreter internally. This system skips over /usr/bin/env if present. For python, it would map both "#!/usr/bin/env python" and "#!/usr/bin/python" to /usr/bin/python, cf.: ${libdir}/gimp/2.0/interpreters/pygimp.interp

I'll leave this bug open in the even I fix it upstream, but this should really have no impact beyond the confusion of people looking at the hashbang line.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2013-09-02 08:56:05 UTC

This is fixed in gimp-2.8.4-5.el7 already, and later versions which we already have in RHEL-7.
