Let me begin by telling you a little story. Some time ago I needed to run a script at work once a day. We had tons of machines ranging from big Unix servers to Linux desktops. Due to various reasons the script could only be run on a desktop machine. However using cron was disabled on desktops. All other machines allowed cron.

yeah python, (same thing goes for ruby) to make your script work you have to write at the beginning : #!/usr/bin/python
but wait, what if python is not located there.
solution : #!/usr/bin/env python
but wait, what if env is not there either !!
what a hack
so just remove that line and type python before the script
