To support cross-platform shebangs, the launcher special-cases the following 
virtual commands [1]:

    /usr/bin/env python
    /usr/bin/python
    /usr/local/bin/python
    python

The "env" virtual command searches the PATH environment variable. Note that 
it's /usr/bin/env since that's the most common location for the env utility on 
POSIX systems. If /bin/env is used there should at least be a symlink to it in 
/usr/bin.
