Subject: python3: error on host python path too long
X-Git-Url: http://git.99rst.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4cb00fd5fbfc49899803ef4c294eb6da5f2e7084;p=openwrt-packages.git

python3: error on host python path too long

Error if shebang to host python interpreter would exceed 127 characters
(124 characters plus shebang and newline). This is used to alert user
when python-installer would fail to correctly set a Python program's
shebang line.

Closes: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/28310
