can a postinstall script be other than shell?

Can a postinstall script be other than a shell script?

I gather that setup looks for *.sh, but if I name a file
/etc/postinstall/foobar.sh, and it contains:

  #!/bin/python
  ...some python code...

will it work?  Or do I have to have a skeleton shell script
that calls my python script?
