Hi Andreas,

I do not propose to change the line to '#!/usr/bin/python2.7' as it would
prevent to run qiime on higher versions.  I just mentionned it as a proof that
it works with 2.7 and not with 2.6.  I suppose that it has to be fixed in
the Debian package, but I am too much of a beginner in Python to propose a
solution.

Cheers,
