<div class="markdown_content"><p>(See also 783259, regarding more flexible python shell<br /> selection.)</p> <p>I propose that at appropriate times (*), the default<br /> python shell is (re-)determined according to the<br /> sha-bang line.</p> <p>(*) Suggestions: on file load, on first shell<br /> invocation, on each interactive invocation.</p> <p>Example of the behaviour I would like:<br /> On loading a file beginning with `#!/usr/bin/env<br /> python2.4', the (default) python shell is set to<br /> `python2.4' (no path information)</p> <p>On loading a file beginning with<br /> "#!/path/to/my/custom/app", my custom app (with full<br /> path info) is the default shell.</p> <p>On invoking the shell the first time in a freshly<br /> created file, the sha-bang line is examined and<br /> suggested as a default shell.</p> <p>(for all cases: if not has sha-bang line: use current<br /> default)</p> <p>---</p> <p>I know I'm being a bit vague (sorry); my agenda is<br /> provoking a discussion of the idea (so I'll know what<br /> to implement, diff and submit), not getting a<br /> yes-or-no-p answer.</p> <p>--Jonas</p></div>
