Installed and closing. Thanks Collin.

BTW, do you have any idea why the "From " line in your patch is dated
from 2001?

Doesn't matter. Just seemed curious. --thanks, karl.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

On a system without Python 't/py-compile-usage' fails with:

    + ./py-compile --help
    + cat stdout
    py-compile: Invalid python executable (according to -V): python
    py-compile: Python support disabled
    + test -s stderr
    + grep '^Usage: py-compile .' stdout
    + am_exit_trap 1
    + exit_status=1

This occurs after the following commit:

        python: restore more compatible behavior for $PYTHON.
        
        For https://bugs.gnu.org/74434.
        
        * lib/py-compile: if $PYTHON -V does not include the
        string "python" (case-insensitive), consider the support
        intentionally disabled and exit successfully, unless PYTHON is set
        to false, in which case exit unsuccessfully. This is closer to
        the old behavior. Mention this in the help message.
        * t/py-compile-env.sh: add test for PYTHON=:.
        * NEWS: mention this. (And, en passant, add some past bug#s and
        clarify that only RCS/SCCS pattern rules were disabled, not all.)
    
Simple 1 line fix attached. :)

Collin
