Hello,
If you use python-distutils to install cython, it ends up replacing the #!
line at the start of bin/cython (#!/usr/bin/env python) with a more
specific version, i.e. (#!/usr/bin/python or #!/usr/bin/python2.x). I
assume this is undesirable; it caused problems for me building SAGE on
Debian Lenny.
Search for "adjust" in
/usr/lib/python2.5/distutils/command/build_scripts.py if you want to see
the code that does this rewriting; it seems to be controlled by whether
cython is registered as a script in setup.py.
