Yes, because all scripts are only ever run by the person who wrote
them.  The main benefit here is for distribution of Python scripts
with version requirements.  Just because you can rely on your Python
installation to be in C:\Python27 doesn't mean you can rely on
somebody else's installation to be there, or on their file
associations to be configured for the correct version.
