[bug] env python -O

[Herve Autret]

Hi there

In order to run Python, one types #!/usr/bin/python in the first line
of a script to make it a Python script. 
But you know that Python is not allways in /usr/bin; could be
/usr/local/bin; Furthermore, one can want to change a script's
behavior simply by changing the PATH variable, to run either
/usr/bin's or /usr/local/bin's Python.

In order to do that, on can type #!/usr/bin/env python in the script.

But it is not possible to run Python -O by this way, because env seems
to look for a "Python -O" executable.

Don't you think that this is clearly a bug in env ?

% env --version
env (coreutils) 4.5.7
[...]
Note: I run it in a Mandrake 9.1

Best regards
