[Python-apps-team] Bug#653890: pyflakes: please also check python scripts that are not named *.py

[Paul Wise]

Package: pyflakes
Version: 0.5.0-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be great if pyflakes could detect files that are python scripts
but are not named *.py. It would have to read the first two bytes of
each file to check for scripts and then read the rest of the line to
determine if it is a python script. It would need to process stuff like:

#!/usr/bin/python
#!/usr/local/bin/python
#!/usr/bin/env python
#!/usr/bin/python2.6
#!/usr/bin/python3.2
