There’s a couple. One would be to run a Python interpreter and fix it with that.


How would you launch the python interpreter if its binary is missing execute permissions?


It’s traditionally been in /usr/bin.


On quite a few systems I've seen /usr/bin is a symlink to /bin or /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin (and /sbin is a symlink to /bin).


That’s a relatively new phenomenon, and not uncontroversial.
