select * from "distros" where "name" is "Arch".

personally, I think Arch should just give up being the only one breaking Python code.
Comment 3 Frederic Peters 2014-09-19 12:21:00 UTC 
As that won't happen the mess had to be cleaned up upsteam in Python. That gave PEP 394 and the recommendation to use python2 in shebang lines, glib should follow that.
Comment 4 Frederic Peters 2014-09-19 12:21:53 UTC 
(s/glib/gobject-introspection/ in the particular case of this bug.)
Comment 5 Simon Feltman 2014-09-20 05:49:29 UTC 
I'm curious which file was causing the build failure?

The files in the patch seem to be either maintainer scripts (update-glib-annotations.py, verbump.py), modules in which the shebang probably isn't needed (docwriter.py, message.py, scannermain.py, shlibs.py), or testing related (gen-gitestoffsets, pep8.py).

If there is something user facing or testing related which needs this, another option would be pass it through autoconf with a shebang of: #!@PYTHON@
This is what the other user facing scripts in the project use (g-ir-scanner.in, g-ir-doc-tool.in).

Comment 7 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2018-01-25 14:20:03 UTC 
Is this still an issue? AFAIR, the ancillary tools can work with both Python 2 and Python 3.
