IEEE Std 1003.1, 2004: The shell reads its input
A shell has nothing to do with it as it is the OS (exec system call) that upon reading the magic of the file sees #! and executes the program (up to the first space) and pass to the program the first (and the only) parameter.
#! /usr/bin/env python -O
[trying to execute the script on Linux]
/usr/bin/env: python -O: No such file or directory
Oleg.
