[BTW: distutils questions belong on distutils-sig@python.org] On 27 May 2003, Paul Dubois said:
That sounds like a platform oddity in handling the #! line. If some Unix kernel doesn't handle #! lines in the standard way, there's not much the distutils can do.
Yeah, the code that munges the #! line -- specifically, the regex that looks for a "#!.*python" line -- has changed a bit over time. The result is that you should *not* use "#!/usr/bin/env python" in scripts that are to be distributed and installed by the distutils, even if it happens to work with your particular version of Python.
