On most Unicies #! magic may have only one parameter after the program; the program here is env, the parameter is python, and that's all. Adding python options will result in different errors - some platforms silently ignores the options, some reports an error, some tries to find "python -E -s" in the PATH and report "Bad command or file name".

IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004:

The shell reads its input from a file (see sh), from the -c option or from the system() and popen() functions defined in the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001. If the first line of a file of shell commands starts with the characters "#!", the results are unspecified.
