The user's export environment, including the PATH setting, is automatically included, even if you have no shebang at all: $ cat test type python3 echo $PATH $ chmod+x test $ ./test python3 is /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/share/Modules/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/poc/.local/bin:/home/poc/bin poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
