Sorry, but I think this is totally unrelated to my question. I want to rename files during the setup process. This is not going to happen by adding/changing any #! lines or the permissions of the file. I know that there is no need to have the .py extension, that's why I want to install the scripts without this suffix. But in my source distribution I want to keep the suffix for various reasons.
