The sed script that was intended to add lines altering the sys.path had extra backslashes in them. Instead resulting in import sys; import os; sys.path.insert( ... ) It output import sys; \ import os; \ sys.path.insert( ... ) Unfortunately this caused python (2.6.1 on OS X 10.6.3) to error SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character Removing two of the backslashes solves this problem. Signed-off-by: Brian Gernhardt <brian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I'm not sure if this is a result of OS X's python or sed, but t5800 won't work for me without this change.
