Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 0e371ebb12 man: consistently use #!/usr/bin/python
Some files were using that, others weren't. Since those are user-facing
docs, we should use the nice clean form, not the workaround for strange
systems that we use in other places.

"""
Proof-of-concept systemd environment generator that makes sure that bin dirs
are always after matching sbin dirs in the path.
(Changes /sbin:/bin:/foo/bar to /bin:/sbin:/foo/bar.)
This generator shows how to override the configuration possibly created by
earlier generators. It would be easier to write in bash, but let's have it
in Python just to prove that we can, and to serve as a template for more
interesting generators.
