How do I make a python script executable?

  1. Add a shebang line to the top of the script:#!/usr/bin/env python
  2. Mark the script as executable:chmod +x myscript.py
  3. Add the dir containing it to your PATH variable. (If you want it to stick, you’ll have to do this in .bashrc or .bash_profile in your home dir.)export PATH=/path/to/script:$PATH
