Thanks, I've checked in a similar patch. BTW, please upload bug reports like these to the SF. That way they won't get lost. Joe VanAndel wrote:

When using 'distutils' (shipped with Python 2.1) I've found that my Python scripts installed with a first line of:

#!/usr/bin/python2.1None

This is caused by distutils trying to patch the first line of the python script to use the current interpreter.

Here's a patch to avoid this behavior: diff -c build_scripts.py.orig build_scripts.py *** build_scripts.py.orig Tue Dec 11 10:07:45 2001 --- build_scripts.py Tue Dec 11 10:19:08 2001 *************** *** 81,86 **** --- 81,88 ---- if match: adjust = 1 post_interp = match.group(1) + if not post_interp: + post_interp = ''

if adjust: self.announce("copying and adjusting %s -> %s" %
