Oh right. I was sure that I've seen a shebang with options somewhere. It might have been a shell script or a perl script.
Yes, one can write #! /usr/bin/python -O This works. The OS (exec system call) splits the string into a program (python) and a single parameter (-O), and python knows how to handle -O.
The problem with #! /usr/bin/env python -O is that exec splits it into a program (env) and a single parameter (python -O) and env doesn't know how to run "python -O".
Yet another python executable could solve the issue
I doubt it. It is env that doesn't know how to run "python -O" in my example, not python's problem.
Oleg.
