Project:Python/python-exec

python-exec is the tool used to wrap Python scripts for multiple implementations. In the process of wrapping, the original Python script is replaced by a special wrapper executable that invokes a proper version of the original script depending on which Python interpreter is used/requested.

It is recommended to assume that the details of script wrapping are treated private implementation detail and not relied upon within ebuilds. If that rule is respected, the ebuilds in question work properly with any of the wrapper versions installed. Otherwise, the ebuilds need to enforce a particular version of wrapper and be updated every time a new wrapper is released.
