I most cases on Unix boxes it isn't configured to include ".". This is so for safety reasons (somebody might replace some command with a tampered binary or a script and capture information that they shouldn't have access to...). The solution of creating a directory and adding it to PATH is the best one, IMHO. Having a "~/bin" is also common for Linux and some distributions of it already ship with it in /etc/skel and in the PATH, so just put a link there or copy your scripts there. > The most "advanced" way would be expanding PATH with > /home/youraccount/python/learning (use PATH=$PATH:/path/here..). Yes.
