the pathname of your Python interpreter executable. You should not have

The Makefile.nmake supplied with the Ethereal distribution will
attempt to make register.c with Python, since it is much much much
faster than the shell version. The reason it is faster is because
the shell version launches multiple processes (grep, sed) for each
source file, multiple times. The Python script is one process. This
matters a lot on Win32. If for some reason you want to build register.c
with the shell script, uncomment out the action line for the register.c
target in Makefile.nmake.
