Well, in the meantime you can do what the PKGBUILDs do, and use sed -i 's:\(env[ ]\+python$\|/usr/bin/python$\):\12:g' to fix the shebangs automatically for each file needed. You can simply apply that to all *.py files, or if some of them specifically need python3 you can make a list of them and exclude them/add python3 to them. Obviously, the long-term goal should be to get that done as an upstream bugfix. -- Eli Schwartz
