Comment (by tom.prince):

 Hmm. This could be implemented simply by exposing `sys.executable` to the
 master, and then using `ShellCommand` to run it. With `StringDownload` to
 get the code there.

 Or, we could pass the code to be executed with `-c`. One possible issue
 with this, is how newlines are handled. Some code on the twisted buildbot
 uses

 {{{
 #!python
 from binascii import unhexlify; exec(unhexlify(b"%s"))
 }}}

 to avoid dealing with newlines et al in the code to run.
