Linux isn't as "suffix sensitive" as DOS and Windows; suffixes don't
necessarily cause the shell to invoke the proper interpreter. In the
python world, I believe you would prepend the following to the script
above (someone correct me if I'm wrong):
#!/usr/bin/env python
There are other ways to do this, but it seems like I've seen the above
used the most.
