I guess the shebang is simply ignored - the actual interpreter is 
fetched from the Python -c-line.


It's a bit weird that there is Python with a capital P, but what happens 
if you change that to Python2.5 for example?

Hi Diez,

Thanks for your reply.  I gave this a try too, but it doesn't seem to work 
either.

However, a gentleman just emailed me off-list recommending to use the full path 
to Python that is in /usr/local/bin.  This is where Python 2.5 looks to be 
installed rather than Python 2.3 which is in /usr/bin.  I ran the following 
code below and it works great!

 
 set p to #!/usr/bin/python
 import sys
 print sys.version[:3]
 set x to do shell script /usr/local/bin/python -c \  p  \
 return x
 

Thank you all again for your thoughts and replies.  I really appreciate it!!

Jay

Change the first line to

set p to #!/usr/bin/env python

That will execute the default python installation...assuming 2.5.2 is
the default.  Otherwise, you can change that to the absolute path of
the 2.5.2 version.
