This is the answer, assuming you have the shebang line and executable
flags mentioned above.
Method (assuming you are using bash):
Add this to your .bashrc file in your home directory:
export PATH=$PATH:${HOME}/bin
I used ${HOME} instead of ~ to make this more portable. However, if
your system doesn't work that way, use the ~ or the full path.

Alternatively you could create a shell script that would execute it with python. HTH, Wayne ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
