There is a different problem, these should be using /usr/bin/env python 
not /usr/bin/python.  Since the nativesdk ships with a python binary to 
ensure that we have a correct and known version of python to work with.

What every is getting packaged with /usr/bin/python needs to be fixed.

perl is different, we don't care so much about perl's version as we do 
with python, perl is more forgiving.
