Seeing follow-up 
<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/36432802bc955bed05fb87bef8053bd3b06411f0%5E!/> 
"fix shebang of wizards/source/access2base/access2base.py":  Does it 
even make sense to have a shebang line, so that it can be executed 
directly?  The docstring below suggests that it should be imported as a 
Python library, so wouldn't need one?

Btw, <http://www.access2base.com> mentioned above doesn't appear to 
provide information about access2base.py; it offers a search 
functionality, but searching for neither "access2base.py" nor "python" 
finds anything.  The link 
<http://www.access2base.com/access2base.html#%5B%5BAccess2Base%20and_Python%5D%5D> 
mentioned here has a stale fragment.
