It's either that or /usr/bin/python2.3 doesn't really exist.
If you type "/usr/bin/python2.3" at the prompt, does the
interpreter come up properly?  If it does, try creating a
new file without using an editor.  Type the commands below
at the Linux $ prompt:

$ cat >test.py
#!/usr/bin/python2.2
print 'works'
(hit Ctrl-D here to close the file)
$ chmod +x test.py
$ ./test.py
works

If you don't get the final output, but still get the "bad
interpreter" thing, yet if the interpreter works properly
when you execute it directly, then I have no idea and will
be quite interested to learn the final solution.
