Put

#!/usr/bin/env python

as the first line.  Then make sure that an executable named 'python'
is in the path.

For me it is:

$ type python
python is /home/derrick/rc/bin/python

('type' is very similar to 'which', but 'which' DNE in cygwin)

That file looks like :

#!/bin/bash

//d/apps/Python20/python.exe $*
