Actually, it's not hardcoding that's the issue. It's that something somewhere is using spaces to parse the #! line. I'll look into this, as I'm not sure whether it's in the setuptools #! line code, or in the .exe's #! parser.

I make the assumption that somebody smart enough to be able to change the location should be smart enough to figure out how to adjust the instructions. :) No sense making the directions more complicated for everybody else.
