Bug #3432
closedpython: ensure proper shabang on python scripts
Description
When installing python scripts, distutils would use the python used to
run setup.py as shebang for the scripts it installs.
However, when cross-compiling, this is most often not correct.
Instead, using '/usr/bin/env python' is guaranteed to find the proper
python in the PATH, so we need to instruct setup.py to use that as the
executable.

We no longer use distutils but env python is anyway better so I have proposed that in the main python scripts: https://github.com/OISF/suricata/pull/9079

Jason made me see that since the scripts are no longer (if they were at some point before) run directly and the callers already have this portable shebang, we probably don't need this anymore. So, closing this issue. Feel free to open a new one if your issues persist.
Please note that the shebang changed as a part of https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/9a1d6af8582be4b817e9f0ffb9d5f591dfc31fb9
Thank you for taking interest in our project and helping make it better!
