Try adding #!/usr/bin/python
as the first line of your scripts (substitute the appropriate path/filename depending on whether it's python, perl, bash, etc. and where the filename lives /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc.) Or if you're sure it's always going to be on your PATH you can use #!env python Then the filename extension doesn't matter. I've even had luck invoking native win32 script interpreters, such as ActiveState Perl this way such as: #!/cygdrive/c/Perl/bin/perl Hey, this stuff really does work like Unix!
