Shebang lines may be localized to the current interpreter when installing a package. Otherwise I don't know what's causing that. Regarding Windows, the system doesn't support shebang lines in any way. Python's installer associates .py files with the py.exe launcher, which looks for a shebang line in a script in order to determine which executable to run. It supports shebangs with fully-qualified Windows paths, as well as virtual commands for registered installations, such as "python", "python3", "python3.9-32", "/usr/bin/python3", and "/usr/bin/env python". -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
