I normally hate the #! /usr/bin/env python trick, but this seems like
exactly the case it was meant to handle - where all that is known is
that the python interpreter is somewhere on the user's path.  The Unix
just-unpack-this-tarball distribution could use that, and the
documentation say that you have to put /path/to/qmtest/bin in your
PATH.

The "RPM package installation" mode, where we can assume the existence
of a preinstalled python interpreter, can just use #! /usr/bin/python
as usual.

I don't know what to do on Windows.
