I'd be interested for a different project (Fnorb), but in this case, I
think it is unnecessary. There must be a user error of some kind,
since the distributed scripts had been using /usr/bin/python. Since
the user sees /usr/local/bin/python in the installed scripts, it is a
clear sign that distutils had updated them correctly to point to
sys.executable.

So it appears that the user had been using a python executable that
has a sys.executable of /usr/local/bin/python. I don't understand why
he then says that /usr/local/bin/python is not present.
