Hi all, I've switched to Linux fairly recently and am still at the fumbling about stage :-) I'm having a devil of a time with the shebang line and running a py file from a command line.
I wrote the following little test script with IDLE 1.1.2 under Python 2.4.2 on Ubuntu 5.10: <code> #!/usr/bin/python print "Working!" </code> I then C & P'ed it to another .py file. testerlyfoo.py is the original, testerlybar.py is the pasted copy. Here's my command line results: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which python /usr/bin/python [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /media/windata/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/windata$ ./testerlyfoo.py Working! [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/windata$ ./testerlybar.py bash: ./testerlybar.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/media/windata$ I even retyped the testerlybar.py file, but I end up with the same results as when the small script was copied and pasted. Likewise, I got the same results after saving the two files to my Home directory on the hail mary thought that perhaps the fact I'd save the originals on a FAT32 mounted drive might be making things goofy. I'm stumped. Any steps I can take to work out what's going on?
