shebang in cross platform scripts
Haven't tested this on Windows yet... thought I'd ask here: Does the line below have any negative impact on Windows machines? I develop and test mostly on Unix, but my scripts are often used on Win systems too. #!/usr/bin/env python Many thanks, rbt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The shebang is interpreted by Apache if your script is a CGI script. So, if your script is a CGI, you will need to have a windows version and a nix version.

It works fine using cygwin, uwin, mks and pdksh, all available for Windows. Google is your friend. Symbolic links also work under uwin (don't know for sure about the others). That means you can install a link in /usr/bin to whereever python lives, and expect #!/usr/bin/python to work just fine.

This works in cygwin as well; I didn't mention cygwin since the OP seemed to be asking about windows distribution, but it's a good point.
