Re: [Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] Change python #! line to be more portable
Hey Aline,
Kimchi in its current state doesn't work with Python 3 which is why I
explicitly stated Python 2.
For Kimchi to work with Python 3 we would need to get Python 3 versions of
all the libraries that Kimchi uses and I looked in to this and there are
one or two that are in use that are not yet compatible with Python 3.
So for the moment I would recommend explicitly stating python2 until we are
able to get Kimchi working with Python 3.
Thanks,
Alan Jenkins

From my understanding, using python2 will limit Kimchi to run using
python2.
I suggest to use "/usr/bin/env python"
