Drop -s from the launch script shebangs

[superm1]

Running make install as suggested by INSTALL will place all the python modules in /usr/local which won't be included in the search path when -s is used in the shebang.

Closes: #599

This seems like python bug. According to the [1]:

-s Don’t add the user site-packages directory to sys.path.

From the [2]:

Default value is ~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages

On my system (fedora 39):

import site

print(site.USER_SITE)

prints:

/home/yarda/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages

I think we generally want the -s. I will probably open python bug to sort it out and if it's wanted behavior I will ask them to fix the python documentation.

You can workaround it by installation into system sitelib, e.g.:

# make install PYTHON_SITELIB=/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages

Or whatever the system sitelib on your distro is.

It's also a bit weird that make install has some stuff ignoring PREFIX entirely and putting things in /usr and /etc

You can workaround it by installation into system sitelib, e.g.:

Yeah that works (Fedora 39).

For /usr it's probably bug, that should be fixed, for /etc it probably isn't. The default PREFIX for user builds is /usr/local for distro builds it's /usr. For prefix addition to /etc you need to use DESTDIR.

rpmbuild/mock does some magic to set the prefix automatically to /usr when packages are built through it.
