Whether it should be this way or not, here's how it currently works.
The builtin virtual paths all end with "python":
static SHEBANG builtin_virtual_paths [] = {
{ L"/usr/bin/env python", TRUE },
{ L"/usr/bin/python", FALSE },
{ L"/usr/local/bin/python", FALSE },
{ L"python", FALSE },
{ NULL, FALSE },
};
parse_shebang() loops over this list, simply matching up to the length of each
virtual path. Thus "/usr/bin/env python-xyz" is matched as a virtual path.
Supporting user configured "python*" commands would require more sophisticated
matching. A virtual command has to consume a suffix that looks like a version
string in the form "[x[.y]][-32|-64]", as determined by validate_version(). But
otherwise configured "python*" commands don't have to be matched as virtual
commands.
