Re: Launching Python programs from Linux shell script
Ernesto wrote: Thanks! How do you add Python in Linux to the path? This works out of the box in most modern Linux distributions. If you're open to suggestions, I'd suggest that you have a look at Ubuntu. It's a user friendly Linux distribution with rather close ties to the Python community. Anyway, if Python is installed in a non-standard location on your machine, you might need to set up two things: PATH to the directory containing the python binary. PYTHONPATH to the directories containing Python modules and packages. How to do this has nothing to do with Python, it just depends on what shell(s) you use in Linux, and this is frankly not the forum for that. See e.g. http://docs.python.org/tut/node4.html and http://www.python.org/doc/tut/node8.html for more about PATH and PYTHONPATH--actually, it might be a good idea to read the whole tutorial if you're a beginner. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Launching Python programs from Linux shell script
Thanks! How do you add Python in Linux to the path? Similar to setting environment variables in Windows. I want to be able to type python when I'm in any directory to launch the interpreter. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You will (or should) have a shell intialisation file variously called .profile, .bashrc or several other possible names. Consult your shell documentation (or ask another user who knows) to find out which. You will need to add a line which typically reads something like export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/directory/containing/python making the obvious substitution of the correct path. Interestingly I couldn't quickly formulate a Google search specifically containing Python, but a search for unix add to path gives the quite helpful http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix8.html as its first result. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Launching Python programs from Linux shell script
Yes, provided your python interpreter is installed, and in your path ($ whereis python should give you something like /usr/bin/python or /usr/local/bin/python) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Launching Python programs from Linux shell script
Yes... - Or... Add this line in de source: #!/usr/bin/env python then chmod +x myscript.py ./myscript.py On 9 Sep 2005 08:31:27 -0700, Ernesto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone know how to start Python program(s) from a Linux shell script?
