+Subject: [PATCH] python: ensure proper shabang on python scripts
+
+When instlling python scripts, distutils would use the python used to
+run setup.py as shabang for the scripts it installs.
+
+However, when cross-compiling, this is most often not correct.
+
+Instead, using '/usr/bin/env python' is guaranteed to find the proper
+python in the PATH, so we need to instruct setyup.py to use that as the
+executable.
+
+[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
+ - author did not provide their SoB, but it's simple enough to
+ not require it for once
+ - provide proper commit log
