Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2017-05-17 11:38:33 UTC
>>> /usr/bin/strace.py -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2
>>> /usr/bin/gdb.py -> ../lib/python-exec/python-exec2

It is really a bad idea to take names of random other tools, append '.py' and behave like it was a completely different name.
