(Python's) shebang too long

When installing a script using Python, the shebang gets replaced as discussed in this post.

The problem is that in my case it gets replaced by 

#!/ssoft/spack/paien/v2/opt/spack/linux-rhel7-x86_E5v2_IntelIB/gcc-7.3.0/python-3.6.5-5yxsy6j5miw26wxpzrtync5gnhtsv5pt/bin/python3

which appears too long for the OS to handle:

bad interpreter: /ssoft/spack/paien/v2/opt/spack/linux-rhel7-x86_E5v2_IntelIB/g: no such file or directory

How can I work around this problem?

(Except for overriding setuptools' default script copy routine.)

It's the OS' limit so you don't have any other options but to limit the shebang length.

Install into a directory with shorter path. Or create a symlink with shorter path and use the symlink in the shebang.
