Right. My general recommendation is that upstream's (development version) scripts use #! /usr/bin/env, but that distros and possibly even virtualenv/buildout installs, hardcode the #! to a specific interpreter. We've just had way too many problems when a /usr/bin script uses /usr/bin/env and breaks the world. We also recommend using -Es to isolate the environment as much as possible. -Barry
