No, don't do that.

Stick to #!/usr/bin/env python and in the very unlikely even that your 
application break in (current_version+2, if you don't get any warnings, 
it's guaranteed in current_version+1), fix the program, in the extremely 
unlikely case that it's a non-backwards compatible change, check the 
version in runtime.

If you're application gets popular, you'll most likely have people 
testing it regulary with development versions of python and you'll even 
find potential problems before new versions are released.
