On UNIX type systems, the Python installer creates multiple links to the actual Python executable. For example in Python 3.5:

python - link to python3.5
python3 - link to python3.5
python3.5 - actual executable

Unless your script specifically requires version 3.5, then it is better to use the "python3" link, rather than "python3.5". That way your script would continue to run when you later upgrade to a new version of Python 3, such as 3.6.

#!/usr/bin/env python3

Which would fail on my system because that's Python 3.5.

For Python 3:  #!/usr/bin/env python3
