have all of you forgotten that the current directory isn't in the path either? to excecute a script in the current directory at the command line, you type at the '$' $ ./MyScript else you do $python MyScript but then you wouldn't need the 'shebang' line '#!/bin/env python' or '#!/usr/bin/python On

Thank you! This solved it for me. I knew it had to be something as ridiculously n00bish as keeping "python" in the script call. On 07/08/2008, at 9:58 PM, Mike Covill wrote: You should be able to execute your script by typing just your script name from anywhere, leave out "python": Admin

The fix I have working for this now is to use a symbolic link to the directory where I keep my scripts. Not quite as clean as just using the script name, but certainly better than typing out a long direct path. I see what you are saying. It didn't occur to me that Python would not use an

The problem I am experiencing is that I can run a Python script successfully if I use the full path to the script, but I can't run it otherwise. I have checked and set my $PATH as well as $PYTHONPATH to be correct. Also, the sys.path has a correct reference. I have also confirmed that per
