That's cool, but I feel like you're unlikely to run into it very often in the wild? The vast majority of Linux systems come with ruby/perl out of the box. Plus if Python did support this sort of hackery it would quickly garner most of the bad press Perl has over the years :'(

Who cares? It's on pypi (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyp/2.11) so just `pip install pyp` and then you have it. You're probably not going to want to distribute shell scripts that rely on pyp, but if you're distributing scripts you can just distribute scripts written entirely in Python and use pyp for your own one-liners.
