Ronald, I cannot replicate the behaviour:

scarter ~ % virtualenv --version

Whether or not we use /usr/bin/env or not doesn't really matter to me. Most of the shebangs in this MP don't even use it. I am just following the official specifications of PEP394.
What matters to me is python2 over python.
A script should not expect the user to change the /usr/bin/python symlink.
