I'm not sure how Ubuntu defaults if you don't specify *who* should receive those +x permissions. I'd make sure they've been set for everybody: $ chmod ugo+x myfile.py You can check this by doing an "ls -lsF myfile.py" and you should see 3 "x"s in the permission column, something like 123 rwxr-xr-x 1 smaran smaran 31415 Apr 27 2012 myfile.py ^ ^ ^ If those are set properly, then Dave's suggestions are the next to try. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
