-Subject: [PATCH 18/74] configure_workers_and_start.py: unify python path
- (#18291)
-
-Use absolute path for python in script shebang, and invoke child python
-processes with sys.executable. This is consistent with the absolute path
-used to invoke python elsewhere (like in the supervisor config).
