[Kimchi-devel] [PATCH] Change python #! line to be more portable

[Alan Jenkins]

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
