One really good reason to use /usr/bin/python is because you want

Except, all of those systems (to my knowledge) do the same thing we do.
I am not sure what context Chris originally referred to. Though when I
do on OEL 6
$ file /usr/bin/* | grep python
I got most a /usr/bin/python script text executable
on b175, when I did the same thing,
I got a mix of
executable /usr/bin/python script
executable /usr/bin/python2.6 script
So I think at OEL 6 (at least) is still using #!/usr/bin/python primarily.
Fedora certainly has /usr/bin/python2.7 and /usr/bin/python2 and
/usr/bin/python.
Are you certain that the OEL system hasn't been customised?
My past experience with RedHat systems was that they delivered
/usr/bin/python version specific bits.
Regardless, if you're going to bother packaging a script for Solaris, it
shouldn't use /usr/bin/python except in very limited circumstances.
It's absolutely trivial to replace the shebang lines during packaging,
so I see no reason to use silly decisions made on other platforms as
justification to make the same silly decision when packaging for Solaris.
