That's rather a waste of memory.  Better to use a link.  That way the
executable can still be shared by multiple programs and won't be
duplicated in memory.

Seems like an awfully obtuse way of doing things -- I don't really
want to have 15 different copies of Python (or even links), and it
requires root privleges every time you want to run a Python program
with the "correct" name.
