I'm aware of the function of the "/usr/bin/env python"
vs. "/usr/bin/python", that isn't the problem.  My question was about
the *location* of the script files when installed in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Bio/* vs. being installed as
executables in /usr/bin/.

It seems that there are a number of files which contain both classes
and scripts and rpmlint identifies all files containing scripts which
aren't installed in a location like /usr/bin/ to make sure that
scripts aren't unintentionally installed in a non-executable location.
