Bug 456310 – www-client/uzbl - /usr/bin/uzbl-browser should specify python version in shebang

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description max 2013-02-09 13:32:49 UTC]

Dear gentoo-Team,

the uzbl-Browser provided in www-client/uzbl is not calling python2, but 'env python', what will in many cases be python3.

Therefore, it wont run properly (uzbl-core can be used, the 'real thing' uzbl-tabbed will bring an import error for pygtk.)

Changing the interpreter to python2 solves it, once done for uzbl-tabbed it will load but not be able to accept any keystrokes/user input, so a second file has to be changed.

Files that have to be modified: 
/usr/bin/uzbl-tabbed
/usr/bin/uzbl-event-daemon

It is just necessary to change the leading line 
#! /usr/bin/env python

to

#! /usr/bin/python2

Have a nice day

Ebuild seding to use python2

The given ebuild should fix the issue.

The fix is not correct, you should use python_fix_shebang script from python-single-r1 eclass

Ebuild using python_fix_shebang

Then this should work (using EPYTHON=python2 because pygtk does not have python3 as target).

fix_shebang string looks ok, except for EPYTHON thingie

you should not define EPYTHON directly and also - do not use python-utils-r1 directly in ebuilds

Use python-single-r1 and define PYTHON_COMPAT properly

Ebuild using python-single rather than python-utils

Hopefully this will be the last version.
Remaining mistake could be calling python-single-r1_pkg_setup directly in pkg_setup.
