Reread my post, or read Mark's reply to yours.  The job of py.exe or 
pyw.exe is to examine the shebang line and then exec the appropriate 
python.exe

That's what symlinks are for, on Unix-like systems.  Somewhere I read 
that Windows has had them for a little while now.  Those generated files 
should have pointed to a symlink on your system drive, rather than 
pointing directly to drive G:

But you could always write your own py.exe, which interprets the shebang 
differently.

Or run python.exe yourself, which as far as I know, pays no attention to 
shebang lines.
