Just installed Jython, and learned something new from the manpage:
To make a jython script executable on your system you can add the following line to the top of the file:#!/usr/bin/env jython
You will also need to add execute permissions to the script using chmod(1). Note that #!/usr/bin/jython will not work; you must use #!/usr/bin/env jython. This is because /usr/bin/jython is a script itself, not a compiled binary.
I'd seen /usr/bin/env used on many occasions (notably on one system that
had the env binary in /bin, not /usr/bin), but never understood
that it could be used for using a script to run a script.
