The shebang line is fixed up at package build time, so that the installed files have valid checksums. % sudo pkg check -sx xlrd Checking xlrd: 100% % pkg info -lx xlrd | grep bin | xargs head -1 =3D=3D> /usr/local/bin/runxlrd.py <=3D=3D #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 =3D=3D> /usr/local/bin/runxlrd.py-2.7 <=3D=3D #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 =3D=3D> /usr/local/bin/runxlrd.py-3.4 <=3D=3D #!/usr/local/bin/python3.4 =3D=3D> /usr/local/bin/runxlrd.py-3.5 <=3D=3D #!/usr/local/bin/python3.5 =3D=3D> /usr/local/bin/runxlrd.py-3.6 <=3D=3D #!/usr/local/bin/python3.6 >> py-SPAM and py3-SPAM, or py2-SPAM and py-SPAM, concurrent *installatio= n* >> still requires that the intersection of plists is the empty set. >=20 > To achieve this, any scripts/binaries installed by a Python package wou= ld > *always* have to be suffixed.

That would certainly make things clear (explicit even = ;-). > But as others have mentioned, it might not be what some people expect. I'm not sure I follow. What would be the benefit of omitting a suffix-less script for the default python? What would be the drawback of providing one? What I'm proposing would not change the user experience under the system default version of python. All scripts would still could be invoked without a suffix due to their symlinks. Yes, it's true that those who only require the default version would still get a suffixed file and a suffix-less symlink. Could you give me an example of a case where that would cause breakage or even just inconvenience? > Could we add an automatic extra to the pkg-message, like: >=20 > To enable the installation of package FOO for multiple Python versi= ons, > the script BAR has been installed for Python-X.Y as BAR-X.Y. This wouldn't be necessary if we continue to ship suffix-less scripts. -J --MWcCw3sVJHoq9fbe7smN4vku6VoaBiJPG-- --4uihsl1jb6UAJQudVLrocgOaNBox3VxfI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJYkJxGAAoJEGEAJpqmdExH2k8QAKg75i5Y+v2yOsPRHgx9MnPS Vo6r+PovBnQnGMuVAT+eq2smuADODM8ciikMtrJf1oUOVzvvqNmHq84yKOy+cVgG 5RR2KXAQZp+/1sXF8MEBMQDkSlP8kehBs37cRNHndgdox57Y2QRXY+ZpkrzFEX4d Mk67VV9qkeT4+aMZxUHldvLUxWGcWsq5AY2DPyoIfH0+nv/y5gCSoJL/mBhskk3w +Qz4BhYsMGxF1ots28hIFSSQIFoG09yNUGyidzbNCPvj2A0yctZ/Q5rzw0JleM2m nucZJXtbdIDP5STZzmPO4U4zaiIMzMFF2b7XuMfWm6mhNOpfiBhYfKjGOVKOZq9G C2GUWOhKKAuy0toWNKMwPahpVV7FOTcbw8n3kr5REMfIAa4jqD9J9AQjM1JMgVIF f+sIlKdmZZsqYBC38lpFBKUYBE36kcCkAMCOczE4njQ5mqh6OtDBsZ7UhjI1dHoa 5nHiNe63GoKmiF8mCXEae/1VCl265ldVaVMZxI1BpGHJUA/LHVkIyv6QB7A1VgDg 2YcGq0NB6FioYtcU/zBUW7A3KVA8p/yoH+IHBRKNXocseW6UjmMO1cwb86JlmCbx DQxZPVz8BlGr+1W19gwW/NjcWa+wEjRuJWRqa2KaOd3TsNorfzQct3dq/BqXRkp/ 5ypvvWKa/heo4rEGemwe =91IP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4uihsl1jb6UAJQudVLrocgOaNBox3VxfI--
