Looks like the shell treats the CR as part of the interpreter name: $ cat python.py #!/usr/bin/python print "Content-type: text/html" print print "<html>" print "<center>Hello, Linux.com!</center>" print "</html>"$ $ python python.py Content-type: text/html <html> <center>Hello, Linux.com!</center> </html> $ chmod u+x python.py $ ./python.py bash: ./python.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
