The example script in https://planemo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/writing_appliance.html#wrapping-a-script was fine, but it was written in Perl (gasp). Why not Python, I thought?

Full disclosure: I haven't tested it, since I the build environment hasn't worked yet on my machine. But it's just a change in existing docs, what could go wrong? (famous last words)

True, true. Didn't know if it was more important to be complete or keep it simple. I can make the edit if you guys want.

Actually, this made me do some research.. can OS X people confirm whether python2 is on your PATH?

By default, no. At least only python is on the $PATH on macOS Sierra 10.12.5, not python2.

$ uname
Darwin
$ which python2
$ python2
-bash: python2: command not found
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ python --version
Python 2.7.10
