Um, I should have phrased my question differently:

Most python scripts in python/ and scripts/ use @PYTHON@,
@TARGET_PYTHON@, or "/usr/bin/env python".  There are two exceptions,
one in python/ and one in scripts/, that use a fixed path to the
executable (/usr/bin/python).  If you do a "git grep", you'll see what
I mean.

Are these two scripts special, or should they be changed to use @PYTHON@ ?

Thanks,
