Yes but I think you're responding to / being misdirected by the syntax
John suggested, rather than the outcome he's looking for. My
impression is that somewhere in the outline he wants to define a string
as PYTHON_BIN='/safe/usr/bin/python' and then in many bash scripts in
the outline be able to put something like:
#![[PYTHON_BIN]]
...
and have the scripts written out with the substituted text. I'm not
sure if valuespace does that or not, but that's the first place I'd
check for that - also Ville did something with the jinja templating
language, maybe that's part of valuespace or something separate.
