python shebang, and other interpreters.

[Andrea Gasparini <gaspa@yattaweb.it>]

Hi, 
I'm searching for some pointers of discussions about python shebang.
My main consideration is that if I want to install another python 
installation or another interpreter (say for example jython, ironpython, or 
unladenswallow ... ) I can't use it for all python programs, because every 
update of python will rewrite /usr/bin/python.

The only report I found is:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=189473
but the motivation seems quite weak to me. I intended it this way: "prevent 
users do local installations because they can both^W ...report bugs more 
difficult to understand and fix".

There are perhaps security reasons? What could happen with an ENV installed 
python?

Thanks, and sorry if the question will result dumb.
