Hmm.., but on My windows 2k system I am using Apache and if I try to run 
script as CGI script without giving the shebang line it simply gives me

   500 Internal Server Error

with error
[Sat Jun 14 15:38:44 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Program 
Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/fireshop/environ.py is not executable; 
ensure interpreted scripts have "#!" first line
[Sat Jun 14 15:38:44 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (9)Bad file 
descriptor: don't know how to spawn child process: C:/Program Files/Apache 
Group/Apache2/htdocs/fireshop/environ.py


Anyway , I recently find out the solution. I tried

   sys.executable

and it works on both windows and linux. So I think I can use it safely to 
substitute the shebang line. Am I right ??
