How to specify Python version in script?

[Javier Collado]

Hello,

If you are working on linux, you can change the shebang line from:
#!/usr/bin/python

to:
#!/usr/bin/python2.6

Best regards,
    Javier

P.S. If you just want to avoid python 3 while running the latest
python 2.x version, this should also work:
#!/usr/bin/python2
