I guess this is a trick to use a python script as a shell script that
executes itself. In other words it is both a shell script and a python
script and when executed as a shell script then it passes itself to the
python interpreter. When executed as a python script the first line is a
comment and the second line is a string (equal to 'execpython-O$0$@'), so
both are skipped.

You can't use that in windows, or maybe there is an equivalent trick.
