Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:
 > Please don't patch the Id line. This patch won't work, because
 ${prefix}/bin/python may not even exist, and it may just be a link to the
 system python anyway. It looks like you actually need to add a dep on one
 of the python ports and change the shebang to use the pythonX.Y binary it
 provides.

 I never used the rst plugin (I don't even know what it does), but adding a
 dependency on python on a perl port seems awkward to me. I'd rather add a
 variant which pulls in the python dependency if the user requests the
 usage of rst, or remove rst from the distro, or give him the hint that rst
 is probably not working or something else. Comments?
