Yeah, I'm aware of that... but I dodged a bit of complexity by
hard-coding the path :) The shebang you quote drops it through to env,
which waves its hands vigorously and says "Abracadabra", before
dropping it through to the Python that you forgot you ran 'make
install' instead of 'make altinstall' on. :)
