$ pquery
Cannot load script pquery_python2.7.
Add --debug to the commandline for a traceback.


It fails because the ugly wrappers try to get the Python module name from argv[0]. Instead, they should be generated with proper module name hardcoded.

Is this even an issue anymore with the latest python-exec stuff? It doesn't seem to be a problem for me.

It's not. Yet still it is a bit ugly, you know.

I never said it wasn't, just was making sure it's not a priority. Feel free to submit a patch.

Closing as won't fix for now. At some point, I might look into using setuptools to generate the scripts but currently we do some custom argparsing magic that isn't compatible with that method.

Further non-ebuild related bugs should be opened on the github project.
