Both virtualenv and (I think) pex use --python/-p so that seems to be the overwhelming trend <wink>. >To modify an archive could be done using > > python -m zipapp old.pyz new.pyz [-p interpreter] > >Default is to strip the shebang (no -p option).

You have to be careful about the case where old.pyz == new.pyz (e.g. either handling this case safely or complaining loudly) , but also you could handle it by using a .tmp file and renaming. E.g. old.pyz -> old.pyz.bak and old.pyz.tmp -> old.pyz. >3. What to call the "show the shebang line" option I don't know how useful this is, given that (on *nix at least) you can effectively do the same with head(1).
