Could you explain why this is necessary or desirable? I looked at what env does, and I am missing the point of duplicating bash normal behaviour regarding definition of per-process environment entries.


Most likely, his python lives elsewhere than /usr/bin, and the 'env' call
results in causing a walk across $PATH to find it....

Assuming that he has env in a standard place... I hope this isn't going to start some rash of efforts to make packages run on non-standard toolchains, which add requirements for one tool to get around misplacement of another.
