Comments from others are very much welcome. Yes, this is correct. Another way to skin this cat would be to do search/replace in a Makefile to burn in the PYTHON_PATH similar to how we do for the .sh scripts and other .py files in the main Makefile. The remote helpers are in contrib/ so they do not go through the main Makefile, which is the root cause. Longer-term, it would be good to treat these uniformly, but this is no worse for now. > Will queue but the result will be on tomorrow's pushout. > > Thanks. > >> Suggested by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@xxxxxx> >> Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@xxxxxxxxx> >> --- >> contrib/remote-helpers/test-bzr.sh | 2 +- >> contrib/remote-helpers/test-hg-bidi.sh | 2 +- >> contrib/remote-helpers/test-hg-hg-git.sh | 4 ++-- >> contrib/remote-helpers/test-hg.sh | 2 +- >> 4 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/contrib/remote-helpers/test-bzr.sh b/contrib/remote-helpers/test-bzr.sh >> index 5dfa070..2c89caa 100755 >> --- a/contrib/remote-helpers/test-bzr.sh >> +++ b/contrib/remote-helpers/test-bzr.sh >> @@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ if ! test_have_prereq PYTHON; then >> test_done >> fi >> >> -if !
