Value

def _findShebang(filename): (source)

Look for a #! line, and return the value following the #! if one exists, or None if this file is not a script.

I don't know if there are any conventions for quoting in Windows shebang lines, so this doesn't support any; therefore, you may not pass any arguments to scripts invoked as filters. That's probably wrong, so if somebody knows more about the cultural expectations on Windows, please feel free to fix.

This shebang line support was added in support of the CGI tests; appropriately enough, I determined that shebang lines are culturally accepted in the Windows world through this page:
