/bin/env: bad interpreter [Solved]

Question

Hi, I have a script that I wrote for backing up important config files, it used to run fine now I get this error message:
/bin/env: bad interpreter
The script uses python2.7 the shebang is:
#!/bin/env python2.7
My $PATH is:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/opt/qt/bin
2.7 is not the default but as you see I am specifying that in the shebang, I retyped the line to make sure there wasn't any weird characters and no help.
I executed:
find /usr -type f -name 'python*' -perm -a+x
and here is the output as you can see it is listed.
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/pythonloader.uno.so
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/python-console.py
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/python-eval.py
/usr/lib/weechat/plugins/python.so
/usr/lib/vmware-installer/2.0/python/python
/usr/lib/xchat/plugins/python.so
/usr/bin/python2.7-config
/usr/bin/python3
/usr/bin/python3.2
/usr/bin/python3.2mu
/usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python3.2mu-config
/usr/bin/python2.4
Anyone have an idea what this might be?
thanks in advance for your help.

jk121960,
/bin/env moved to /usr/bin/env.
