I agree the paths in those scripts is incorrect, *but*:

 * Should these scripts have been installed in the first place? I don't
   think there are useful for the typical usage of the Python
   interpreter, so maybe we want to get rid of them.

 * Instead of fixing this patch manually in every Python script
   installed, can we investigate on how to fix the root of the problem?
   I'm the one who has reworked the patches that get Python to
   cross-compile, and I know this stuff is really painful, but I think
   it's worth at least trying to understand a bit if there could be a
   way of handling things. From what I remember the problem is that the
   host-python uses its host sysconfig parameters even when building
   things for the target, simply because the whole Python things has
   absolutely zero understanding of the fact that we could be using
   Python on one machine to build stuff that will run on a different
   machine.

Thoughts?

Perhaps we could add a config option later on to not install idle and 
smtpd.py.

easy_install and easy_install-2.7 shouldn't be in there apparently. It's 
part of setuptools package.
I've submitted a V2 patch so it only fixes idle and smtpd.py in python 
package. The V2 patch is independant of this setuptools interpreter 
directive issue.

I will see if I can look into fixing the interpreter for the setuptools 
package.

Jonathan

I've submitted patch for Python to use fixed path for sys.executable to 
resolve this.

I've just ran into this kind of problem. It can be solved per package by
adding "-e /usr/bin/python" to the setup build command.

[Buildroot] [PATCH] python: fix interpreter directive for python scripts

Or introduce a new package infrastrucutre, like for autotools-based and
cmake-based packages. For example, we could add a "pysetup" (or whatver)
infrastructure:

  $(eval $(pysetup-package))

Which would automatically call ./setup in the package directory, passing the
proper arguments, instead of reimplementing that in every python packages?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Right. We start to have more and more Python-based packages, and it
seems like those using the Python setuptools could benefit from having
a common infrastructure.

Could you provide a bit more input on why this patch is needed ?
Did you encounter a bug? Which one?
