Hmm... It seems that some *nix kernels do not parse parameters on the shebang line, so "python -tt" is passed as a single parameter to the env program and it complains for not finding "python -tt" in the PATH. It seems that FreeBSD and Solaris actually parse the parameters on the shebang line. I don't know about other *nices. All in all, I think that -tt should be replaced by an explicative comment as it is pretty useless used in that way. Alternatively, a python function achieving the same result as -tt on the command line could be used. I don't know if such a function exists. -- Enrico
