setuptools mangles Python script shebang line

[boegel]

$ head -n 1 $EBROOTVSCMINMYMPIRUN/bin/mympirun
#!/usr/bin/python

This should be /usr/bin/env python instead to make it work with whatever python is available first in $PATH.

[boegel]

the --executable option for python setup.py build should help:

$ python setup.py build --executable="/usr/bin/env python"
...
$ head -1 build/scripts-2.6/mympirun.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

but then:

$ python setup.py install --prefix=...
cleanup build
removing 'build' (and everything under it)
cleanup lib/vsc_mympirun.egg-info
removing 'lib/vsc_mympirun.egg-info' (and everything under it)
running install
running build
running build_py
creating build
...
