I have read that Python is a platform independent language. But on this page:
http://docs.python.org/tut/node4.html#SECTION004220000000000000000 it seems that making a python script executable is platform dependant: 2.2.2 Executable Python Scripts On BSD'ish Unix systems, Python scripts can be made directly executable, like shell scripts, by putting the line #! /usr/bin/env python (assuming that the interpreter is on the user's PATH) at the beginning of the script and giving the file an executable mode. The "#!" must be the first two characters of the file. On some platforms, this first line must end with a Unix-style line ending ("\n"), not a Mac OS ("\r") or Windows ("\r\n") line ending. Note that the hash, or pound, character, "#", is used to start a comment in Python. The script can be given an executable mode, or permission, using the chmod command: $ chmod +x myscript.py Are there any guidelines (API'S) that gurantees that the python code will be platform independent? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
