[jira] [Updated] (CASSANDRA-17832) Change bin/cqlsh.py shebang to use PATH with env prefix
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-17832?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Brad Schoening updated CASSANDRA-17832:
---------------------------------------
Description:
For cqlsh.py this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
is preferable to the current hard coded /usr/bin/python3 which doesn't take into account the python interpreter preferences in the users PATH. '{{{}env{}}}' is a system binary in {{/usr/bin}} that searches {{$PATH}} for strings containing the provided argument and returns the first instance it finds. In the above syntax, {{env}} will search for the first instance of {{python}} in {{$PATH}} and return it.
This is aligned with the recommendations in [https://peps.python.org/pep-0394/]
For example, on a MacOS:
{code:java}
% /usr/bin/python3 --version
Python 3.8.9. (xcode python version)
% /usr/bin/env python --version
Python 3.10.6. (brew python version)
% python --version
Python 3.10.6. (default)
{code}
Thus, /usr/bin/python3 doesn't run the expected default python version
Even the official Python tutorial uses /usr/bin/env: [https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/interpreter.html]
