From 9e63faaa66acaed188b84b073d80148f5b04413c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fred Drake Date: Wed, 15 Oct 1997 14:37:24 +0000 Subject: Change Python-as-executable-script example to use "#! /usr/bin/env python" since that's now the recommended way to do it. In pickling discussion, change "code{pickle}" (not missing leading "\") to "This" since the immediately preceeding sentence ended with the same text (with the proper "\"). Fixes a formatting bug and an odd glitch in the writing. --- Doc/tut.tex | 10 +++++----- Doc/tut/tut.tex | 10 +++++----- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/Doc/tut.tex b/Doc/tut.tex index 4291595..0afcb3f 100644 --- a/Doc/tut.tex +++ b/Doc/tut.tex @@ -295,12 +295,12 @@ On BSD'ish \UNIX{} systems, Python scripts can be made directly executable, like shell scripts, by putting the line \bcode\begin{verbatim} -#! /usr/local/bin/python +#! /usr/bin/env python \end{verbatim}\ecode % -(assuming that's the name of the interpreter) at the beginning of the -script and giving the file an executable mode.
