-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Howdy,
this question is a bit about general policy which is not yet covered in the python recommendations: I see projects which do check-ins like "get rid of shebang lines" and they remove those lines from non-script sources. It is not always clear to me what to do, so I tend to leave those lines in per default, in order not to waste time thinking about it, but well, today I was confronted with that. Digging a bit deeper shows the following: python docs: No mention of shebang, but for Windows. https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=shebang&check_keywords=yes&area=default https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html?highlight=shebang Google's python style guide also says when a shebang is needed, but does not forbid it. Pep 394 explains how to use shebang, but still nothing about not using it. http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/ So is there anything officially preferred, and should that go into pep 8? Special case with pip - ------------------ I was looking through my installed packages and wondered quite much about pip: Pip has a shebang in the __init__ file, but no shebang in the __main__ file. I guess this is wrong and should be in the executable file, which is __main__ . cheers - Chris - -- Christian Tismer :^) [email protected] Software Consulting : http://www.stackless.com/ Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 121 : http://www.pydica.net/ 14482 Potsdam : GPG key -> 0xFB7BEE0E phone +49 173 24 18 776 fax +49 (30) 700143-0023 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.22 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUNQ8FAAoJEOcwEVD7e+4Of5MH/13YyXRzPVXfsLDbfe/CRkFF ORVAPkRB90OaEmbLTvBXPhFlAgEwcQnpdO+tmqigvlORd0cSXQKIxoPOiqq601gs XV56aREqBCT26XMaKTuoPdu4DaW+TkwyWSn70eq4U/P7YjF3ZlNt8IkA5mteM7an ycRYMnknEaIvP/xpZdGp+v4pq5LA42LWAY1awnBk4eMP04uDowSmcuLELpZrmSCr iMkw6wPUdZxGVtQNwSses0mh3DuaQuwrubhHMnLoOKn/lqRjckG2Ii2BIHlWy9lQ 5X3y8IdWPh7awio8xaibNqsWaP+0DT97g2H7QZf8YIG7/DkHL/iacSr7NAPBXXQ= =IODc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
