I have some scripts that I often use in both windows(cygwin) and linux, I’d like to make the scripts executable in both environments. Is there a way to alias the location of my python installation, for example so that
#!/usr/bin/python
will still find my python installation, even though, as far as cygwin is concerned, it is located at /cygdrive/c/Python26/python?
Just install Python via Cygwin’s
setup.exe, and it will be in/usr/bin.Or create symbolic links on both systems, for example in
/usr/local/bin/python, and use that in the shebang.Or write an installation script that adjusts the
#!line in your Python scripts as it installs them.Note that if your
/cygdrive/c/Python26/python(C:\Python26\python) is a native Windows Python installation, scripts using it won’t be able to use Cygwin-style paths.
