Oh dear Goddess. We are *still* mutating shebangs in GPSD?  I must have
blotted that from my memory.

One reason to stop doing this kind of thing is library-path confusion.
Yes, I know we have a lash-up that barely works around that in GPSD
but our Debian package maintainer damn near has an aneurism any time
he thinks about it and I can't blame him a bit.

It will come time to end Python 2 support in GPSD soon.
