If this is the case, then your patch may not work if PATH isn't set. If a 
shebang is found in a script, it is processed in maybe_handle_shebang(), which 
means that your code to look in a venv won't be hit (though if you rely on the 
PATH being correctly set, then it will work as expected because the handling 
for e.g. /usr/bin/env python searches the PATH).
