One of the main dis-advantages to using '/usr/bin/env python' is that
you have to either A) make sure the environment is initialized, or B) 
initialize the environment  manually before executing the script.  If
you, for example, want to use a python script at boot time, before the
environment is initialized, i strongly recommend using an absolute path.
