It is possible to create a script that is both valid shell and Python that
will e.g. invoke `which` to find the appropriate python binary and execute
it. See https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/5e0140b6d118/mach for
an example. With a little tweaking, you could have it search for multiple
pythonX.Y binaries and pick the most appropriate one.
