I would probably use this. I'd also be happy with Unix-style #!/usr/bin/python3. I would not use a Windows-only line at all. Anyone advocating including full paths in a Windows-specific line (can't remember who it was, sorry - Glen?) should remember that unlike Unix, there is NO standard location for the Python interpreter on Windows. The installer's default is only that - a default. (And TBH, in my view, not that good a default, merely the best of a series of bad options...) My Python installs are usually in \Apps\Pythonxy on some drive - which one depends on how my drives are laid out and how much free space I have. So an absolute path wouldn't even be portable across all of my own PCs! Personally, I'd rather not have such a line at all (and find another approach) than use an absolute path...
