[22:34] <jsaw> what else?
[22:34] <th> $ cat /etc/profile.d/pygtk
[22:34] <th> export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH${PYTHONPATH:+:}/opt/gnome24/lib/python./scripts/Build-Pkg: line 1: python: command not found/site-packages:/opt/gnome24/lib/python./scripts/Build-Pkg: line 1: python: command not found/site-packages/gtk-2.0
[22:34] <th> jsaw: you should check whether python exists.
[22:35] <th> jsaw: before using python to get it's version
[22:35] <jsaw> ???
[22:35] <th> jsaw: in fact i'd prefer PYVER='*'
[22:35] <th> jsaw: have a look at the *conf
[22:35] <th>     PYVER="`python -V 2>&1 | sed 's/Python \([0-9]\.[0-9]\).*/\1/'`"
[22:35] <jsaw> rxr changed this long time ago ???
[22:35] <th> i don't know about that history
[22:35] <th> i'm just asking you because you are [M]
[22:36] <th> jsaw: i think PYVER='*' should do very fine.
[22:36] <th> jsaw: it would result in PYTHONPATH=...lib/python*/...
[22:36] <th> jsaw: which should be fine as we have it in /opt/*/bin
[22:36] <jsaw> no way. 
[22:36] <th> (for PATH)
[22:36] <jsaw> pygtk is definitely not to be build before python is in place
[22:37] <th> it shoudl at least fail graceful when there is no python
[22:37] <th> but i think the current way to get the PYVER is not needed
[22:37] <th> it's just ugly
[22:38] <th> cause a '*' would do fine
[22:38] <jsaw> if python handles the *, ok.
[22:38] <th> its not python
[22:38] <th> it's your shell handling this
[22:38] <jsaw> nope
[22:38] <jsaw> PYTHONPATH is expanded by python
[22:38] <jsaw> full stop
[22:39] <jsaw> (it tells python where to look for libs)
[22:39] <th> i know this
[22:40] <th> do the following:
[22:40] <th> bash
[22:40] <th> echo 'export FOOBAR=/usr/lib/python*' > foobar
[22:40] <th> . ./foobar
[22:40] <th> echo $FOOBAR
[22:40] <th> python has just no chance to expand that
[22:40] <th> cause the shell already does so
[22:41] <jsaw>  export PYTHONPATH="/usr/gnome24/lib/python*"
[22:41] <jsaw> echo $PYTHONPATH
[22:41] <jsaw> /usr/gnome24/lib/python*
[22:41] <jsaw> ???
[22:41] <jsaw> oh
[22:41] <jsaw> wait
[22:42] <jsaw> export PYTHONPATH="/opt/gnome24/lib/python*"
[22:42] <jsaw>  echo "$PYTHONPATH"
[22:42] <jsaw> /opt/gnome24/lib/python*
[22:42] <jsaw> echo $PYTHONPATH
[22:42] <jsaw> /opt/gnome24/lib/python2.3
[22:42] <jsaw> -> python gets the star, its only "echo" that expands it
[22:43] <th> jsaw: perhaps we should do it the same way as it's done in /etc/profile for the /opt/*/bin
[22:43] <jsaw> yep. rxr did it, but it's somehow gone...??? me wonders ???
[22:44] <th> hmm
[22:44] <jsaw> maybe lost in sm
[22:44] <th> perhaps you could use echo to expand it...
[22:45] <th> somehow
[22:45] <th> but the current way with using python to get it's version is ugly
[22:45] <th> just IMHO
[22:45] <jsaw> actually me thinks, python modules should stay in default python path and not be distributed around the world
[22:45] <jsaw> but...
[22:45] <th> jsaw: full ack
[22:46] <jsaw> well, then you have to extract python version from the desc file.
[22:46] <th> you can let a shell expand /usr/lib/python* to get the right path
[22:47] <th> even if it does not work with simply exporting this way
[22:47] <th> a for loop could do
[22:47] <th> a echo could do
[22:47] <jsaw> nope, dangerous just in case there's some old python2.2 or so around
[22:48] <th> hmmm
[22:48] <th> yes that's right
[22:49] <jsaw> what's about (like mozilla) if python simply creates the lib/python2.3 -> lib/python link?

[22:50] <th> oh no
[22:50] <th> please dont
[22:50] <jsaw> yeah right...
[22:50] <jsaw> doesn't solve the problem
[22:54] <th> jsaw: reading from python.desc seems to be the best solution to me
[23:16] <jsaw> ok.
[23:17] <jsaw> have to take off again, cu l8r
