I would like to add my +1 to Eric's msg120485 above.  What I really find puzzling is why some scripts in Tools/ have hashbangs, but don't have execute permission.

Tools/scripts/cleanfuture.py
Tools/scripts/combinerefs.py
Tools/scripts/db2pickle.py
Tools/scripts/find_recursionlimit.py
Tools/scripts/md5sum.py
Tools/scripts/pickle2db.py
Tools/scripts/pysource.py
Tools/scripts/svneol.py

I suggest a simple rule: no execute bit set in permissions - no hashbang line.

And I don't think stdlib modules should have execute bit:
