When packaging chardet and pip (which bundles it) in Fedora, we have realized that there is a nonexecuatble file with a shebang line. It seems that the primary purpose of this file is to be imported from Python code or to be executed via python chardet/cli/chardetect.py or python -m chardet.cli.chardetect and hence the shebang appears to be unnecessary. Shebangs are hard to handle when doing downstream packaging, because it makes sense for upstream to use #!/usr/bin/env python while in the RPM package, we need to avoid that and use a more specific interpreter. Since the shebang was unused, I propose to remove it to avoid the problems.
