Trying my hand with Python but have had a small hiccup. Reading 'A byte of Python' and created helloworld.py as directed. #!/usr/bin/python # filename : helloworld.py print 'Hello World' At the terminal prompt cd to the file location and run from the prompt. p...@grumpy:~/projects/python$ python helloworld.py Hello World All fine. Then I tried the following as described in the tutorial and get the following error p...@grumpy:~/projects/python$ chmod a+x helloworld.py p...@grumpy:~/projects/python$ ./helloworld.py bash: ./helloworld.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory The permissions are: rwxr-xr-x.
Looks like you created helloworld.py on Windows, or using Windows-oriented tools (perhaps a samba drive? ftp from a Windows disk?) Windows text files end each line with the \r\n sequence (CR LF, bytes 0x0D 0x0A, ^M^J). Unix (and Linux) uses only a \n (LF, 0x0A). The \r will be read as part of the previous line then.
There are tools to convert back and forth those formats (dos2unix and unix2dos, or the crlf.py demo script in the Python source distribution). But to avoid problems, it's better to use the right tools for the OS you're working with (that is, don't use notepad to edit Linux files...)
