Subject: [gentoo-dev] python-wrapper breaks init scripts

1 Hi,
2
3 I just stepped over a problem with the new python-wrapper. If I interpreted
4 the changelogs correctly, since eselect-python-20090801 /usr/bin/python is no
5 longer a symlink, but a wrapper.
6
7 I find this a questionable idea simply for the overhead it causes, but it
8 seems that this breaks all init-scripts using start-stop-daemon for python
9 scripts.

11 Example:

13
14 (same issue happens with some self-written python daemons we're using on our
15 servers)
16
17 I don't know what the reasons were for the change from symlinks to a wrapper,
18 but if it should stay the way it is, we need a fix for those issues.
