2to3 bug and question

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

is this the right group to ask / report problems with python3.0 ?

The question:
Is it possible to tell 2to3 to replace, say,
#!/usr/bin/python

by

#!/usr/local/bin/python3.0

?

Here the bug:

While 2to3 keeps the first line
#!/usr/bin/python

it removes the first line if it was

#!/usr/bin/python -O

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks for hint,

While the general Python list is the right place to discuss bugs it's
not sensible to report them here. Most Python core developers except
Martin, me and a few more aren't reading this list at all. The bug
tracker at http://bugs.python.org/ as a category for 2to3 bugs and
feature requests.

It is certainly a place. Given the number of bogus bug reports on
bugs.python.org, asking here is often a good idea. In this and your
other post, the problems you report look like probable bugs to me, so go
ahead and report them on the bug list unless someone else has an
explanation (within a day, say).

2to3 had probably been less well tested and debugged than either of the
new releases, so testing it now is helpful.
