I am currently running a Python scripts both on Linux and Windows 7. The file is executed in an execv style with which I mean that the interpreter is defined in the beginning of the file in a command.
In Windows system, the interpreter specification is:
#!C:Python26python.exe
However in Linux this needs to be
#!/usr/bin/python
I would like to run this script in both systems without having to change this line again and again.
I have tried out the following:
#!C:Python26python.exe #!/usr/bin/python
as well as:
#!C:Python26python.exe;/usr/bin/python
So: is there any way I could specify multiple interpreters?

Answer
#!/usr/bin/env python
That will call the env
program to search your PATH for a Python executable.
If you need to ensure a specific version of Python you can do e.g.:
#!/usr/bin/env python3.11
