Yes, Windows ignores shebang lines, they're a UNIX convention. Windows uses
file associations to decide what program to launch scripts with.

The Windows Python installer associates .py files with python.exe - so the
most recent version of Python you installed will have the file association.

For scripts on Windows I *thought* setuptools created .exe wrappers to get
round this problem. It may not do this when you use "setup.py develop"
though.

All the best,
