I'm not sure I know how. It looks like the downloaded files
have the following shebang lines
 Tools/scripts/pydoc => #!/usr/bin/env python
 Tools/scripts/idle => #! /usr/bin/env python
 Lib/smtpd.py => #! /usr/bin/env python
 Misc/python-config.in => #!@BINDIR@/python
whereas the installed files have
 /usr/local/bin/pydoc => #!/usr/local/bin/python
 /usr/local/bin/idle => #!/usr/local/bin/python
 /usr/local/bin/smtpd.py => #!/usr/local/bin/python
 /usr/local/bin/python-config => #!/usr/local/bin/python
so they're already getting rewritten somewhere. We want both
their names and their shebang lines to have the version
 /usr/local/bin/pydoc2.5 => #!/usr/local/bin/python2.5
 /usr/local/bin/idle2.5 => #!/usr/local/bin/python2.5
 /usr/local/bin/smtpd.py2.5 => #!/usr/local/bin/python2.5
 /usr/local/bin/python-config2.5 => #!/usr/local/bin/python2.5
It seems that python-config appears in the Makefile, so
adding something like
	sed -e "s,@BINDIR@,$(BINDIR)," <
$(srcdir)/Misc/python-config.in >python-config$(VERSION)$(EXE)
	$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) python-config
$(BINDIR)/python-config$(VERSION)$(EXE)
	rm python-config
to Makefile.pre.in in an altlibainstall section or something
might be all we need for that.
The others are named in setup.py
 # Scripts to install
 scripts = ['Tools/scripts/pydoc',
'Tools/scripts/idle',
 'Lib/smtpd.py']
but I haven't worked out where they get rewritten or
installed yet.
