Signals/Slots support in Python

Re: #!/usr/bin/env python vs. #!/usr/bin/python

This is sort of related, but I'm wondering what is different between "#!/usr/bin/env python" and "#!python". Wouldn't the second do the same thing, since an absolute path is not specified, find 'python' from the PATH environment, I don'
