Comment(by leif):

 Well, perhaps one should simply suppress (or avoid) the error message in
 case no Python is (yet) installed, but the script is really odd.

  * It should only test (and modify) scripts that are executable.
  * It "rewrites" '''every''' file that contains {{{python}}} and {{{#!}}}
 in its first line, so even already correct (and already modified) files
 starting with
    {{{
 #!/usr/bin/env python
 }}}
    will get rewritten.
  * It makes all these files writable (but only for the owner).

 I don't agree moving its functionality into {{{sage-spkg}}} is a good
 idea. (IIRC it is called by other scripts as well, and {{{sage-spkg}}}
 shouldn't be blown up too much.)
