Subject: Re: Get interpreter path

The original question is quite interesting.  Offhand I don't see a way
to do it.  Even using something like sys-proctable wouldn't guarantee
an accurate result.  On certain Unix-style OS flavors, one might be
able to launch an external command and parse the results (i.e. using
`lsof`) to learn more.

Good question!  If you or someone else comes up with a good idea, I
look forward to seeing it here.

Aaron out.

(OT comment: It's easy to get frustrated on both sides of discussions,
as asker when many people wanting to be helpful ask "why" or "for what
purpose" when sometimes the asker may not want to share why or
purpose--or the purpose may simply be "because it's a fascinating
question that has piqued my curiosity"--and as a helpful answerer,
when one doesn't know exactly what the asker wants, trying to get more
useful information can easily lead to frustration.  So for me in
either role, if I find myself getting snippy, it's time for me to back
away, take a break or a deep breath, and just be grateful that there
are other geeks like me out there who share similar interests.)
