Subject: Makefile: run pyflakes as 'pyflakes', not python `which pyflakes`
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/%5B/frontends/%22news.html/(%5B%5E?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75135af65fa95dfcb51d5025a824f0971fafbdbc;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

Makefile: run pyflakes as 'pyflakes', not python `which pyflakes`

This funky invocation syntax was introduced in 2007 (commit 56ad518),
with a comment of "make pyflakes run faster". I no longer have any idea
why that might have been the case. It's time to simplify this, because
some of our buildslaves have pipsi-installed "pyflakes" on their $PATH,
which use a "python" that's different than the one on $PATH.
