As in a #! can't target a Python script that has been chmod'ed to be executable?

It also handles parameters in strange ways. One can write

#!/usr/bin/pytnon -O

but not

#!/usr/bin/env pytnon -O

Some operating systems understand that, some ignore -O completely, but most OSes interpret "python -O" as one parameter and emit "/usr/bin/env: python -O: No such file or directory" error.

Oleg.
