On 03 August 2001, Guido van Rossum said:

it though, so that CGI scripts can use

#!/usr/bin/env python -C as their first line.

Completely off-topic: the "/usr/bin/env" hack doesn't work with command-line arguments under Linux:

$ cat t.py #!/usr/bin/env python -i

print "hello"

$ ./t.py
/usr/bin/env: python -i: No such file or directory

Grumble. Andrew and I tried to track this down once, and found suspicious-looking code in the kernel (ie., I don't think it's the fault of GNU env).
