But scripts calling /usr/bin/python want to use the "system" / "bundled" Python - why would you want those to run with your version of Python???

Because in 120% of situations, that "want" is actually "I had no clue how *nix works and just pasted in the result of `which python` in my system".

Do you think the same is true of #!/bin/bash? Why not?
