Current shebang for a movable WinPython is "#!..\python.exe" which means:

  • python.exe must first be put in the path,
  • double-click on "sqlite_bro.exe" doesn't work.

Apparently we can use a relative shebang "#!..\python.exe", which means:

  • we don't need a python in the path (and won't use it anyway)
  • double-click on "sqlite_bro.exe" would work,
  • and of course it would continue to work after moving WinPython.

doesn't work for "pip.exe" (subprocess issue)... reverting the default to "python.exe" instead of "..\python.exe"

revert to default behavior via #261

keep the option/code open, in case we want to do that for a few packages
