Modules generally do not and should not have hashbang lines. Only
executables do. By the time you're loading a module, you've already
started the interpreter, so the hashbang line doesn't have any
feasible way of influencing the course of action.

If there's a module which needs the 2.7 interpreter, it will not
provide any files in the /opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages or
/opt/csw/lib/python2.6/site-packages directories.
