shell_support does not work in OSX #20

Hello,

My OSX10.9.3 with Xcode5.1 does not recognize python2 command. Are there special purpose to use 'python2' command?

gbiggs commented 10 years ago

Yes; rtshell currently only supports Python 2. On systems where Python 3 is the default (e.g. Gentoo and recent Ubuntu releases), Python 2 needs to be specified explicitly. All Linux distributions provide a symlink from /usr/bin/python2 to /usr/bin/python2.x (where x is the latest minor version available). Unfortunately, Apple does not do this on OS X. I'm working on Python 3 compatibility for rtshell and the related libraries, and when that is done I can change the call to just "python." Until then, you can get around the problem by creating a symlink somewhere in your path from "python2" to "python27".

Thanks for the patch. Problem solved.
