[pychecker] pychecker script refers to non-destroot python install

[ryanwilcox@…]

(Sorry for filing a blank bug. Here are the comments)

pychecker is just a shell script that refers to site-packages/pychecker/checker.py

however, when you install this via darwinports the checker.py script reads:

/usr/bin/python /System/Library/Python2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py "$@"

(or something similar) when it SHOULD read:

/usr/bin/python /opt/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pychecker/checker.py "$@"

(as pychecker got installed in prefix, and not in the system's site modules.

SO this (wrong) default needs to be (somehow) fixed.

Thanks!

I fear this is a general python problem we do have with DarwinPorts:

If you use* a python from a not dports installation, things WILL break. Almost all py- modules install in ${prefix} or do similar stuff that won't work with e. g. the preinstalled version of MacOS-X. We (at least some of us) are aware of this problem, but no one had a good solution for this yet.

Solutions or ideas are welcome.

*) it will probably be sufficient for things to break if the first python in your PATH is the System ones.
