re: patching django-admin You could change the first line of django-admin.py from: #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/bin/env python Or, as Marco says you could preface the script name with 'python' and avoid the whole issue. The first line is just trying to get the shell to find the appropriate python command to run in order to execute the script, if you run python directly the first line is ignored (since it's a python comment). re: breaking python I wasn't saying you would break anything, I was saying the hosting provider has caused things to break by putting env in a non-standard place. Lots of python scripts use that first line, and apparently none of them will work on your hosting provider's setup because they've placed env in a non-standard location.
