 It currently points at "python" which is not version specific and will
 break horribly on systems where the default system python is python3.

 This isn't a issue when it is installed with setup.py, but was when I
 tried a TBB nightly a few days ago.  As far as I can tell every system
 that has python2.x installed with have a "python2" symlink so changing the
 shebang won't break places where this works now, but will allow it to work
 on more systems without breaking in horrible unintuitive ways for the
 user.
