[Python-modules-team] Bug#586395: python-numpy: f2py script needs to use python2.6

[Kevin Mitchell]

Package: python-numpy
Version: 1:1.3.0-3+b1
Severity: normal


With the upgrade to python2.6, f2py no longer successfuly compiles a test file
$f2py -c test.f90
...
In file included from /tmp/tmpBB0uI6/src.linux-x86_64-2.5/fortranobject.c:2:

                 from /tmp/tmpBB0uI6/src.linux-x86_64-2.5/fortranobject.h:13,

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_common.h:71:2: error: #error Must use Python with unicode enabled.
...

It looks like /usr/bin/f2py needs to be updated so that the first line
is "#!/usr/bin/env python2.6" rather than "#!/usr/bin/env
python2.5". This allows compilation to proceed as expected.
