I found page for Mac OS X, though somewhat dated (2005), which  
actually suggests
  #!/usr/bin/env python
  http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/opensourcescripting.html

Also, MacPorts has Python, on my system (Mac OS X 10.5.6 PPC G4):
  $ which python
  /opt/local/bin/python

  $ /opt/local/bin/python --version
  Python 2.5.4

  $ /usr/bin/python --version
  Python 2.5.1

So users on Mac OS X 10.4 might install MacPorts and its Python,  
though I do not know which version it has on Tiger.

If there an error when multiple versions are installed, debugging can  
be notoriously difficult. So getting full path in error messages will  
help that.
