If we remove the shebangs, users can still do

python script.py

if they want to run script.py as a script.

With the shebangs, users can do

./script.py

instead. But IMHO, for Biopython scripts the advantage is minimal, and won't
work on Windows.

Well let's wait a few days to see if somebody steps forward who really needs
the shebangs.
