Have you added shebang lines to those scripts yet?
yes i added them. i think the problem is at the start where it asks me to:
You should ensure the launcher is on your PATH - depending on how it was
installed it may already be there, but check just in case it is not.
From a command-prompt, execute the following command:
py
You should find that the latest version of Python 2.x you have installed is
started ..
py is not recognized and and it said "depending on how it was
installed". the problem is it didnt allow me to select a path when
installing. it just automatically did everything. i have searched my
PC for python launcher but it cant find it, so i dont know where its
location is. i see it in "control panel" to uninstall a program but
right clicking it doesnt give me an option to see its containing
folder
I'm not using it, since I'm not using Windows. So these are guesses
based on years stuck\b\b\b\b\b spent in the Windows environment.
Clearly, the name of the program is py.exe, so that's what you should
try searching for. From the cmd prompt, try dir /s py.exe
Or, you could just try searching under c:\windows since that's where
it's likely to be.
To see your PATH, type PATH at the cmd prompt.
To make temporary changes to your PATH (if py.exe is in an obscure
place), just type
set PATH=c:\mydir;%PATH%
To make permanent changes to PATH, you have to change the environment
variables in the Control Panel. I've done it many times, but don't
recall just where it is. Such permanent changes will affect any new
runs of CMD, as well as affect any other program subsequently started.
