Yes, I am aware that I could do that. I chose to only demonstrate the full path method rather than both ways to access the file in my example.

The problem remains though, that every time I want to run a script in that directory, I'd have to type out the entire path, which is not ideal.

Surely there must be a work around to allow me to only type in the script name, at least I assume there must be?

I guess I'm confused. There are only two ways to run a script: with the absolute path to the script, or with a relative path (from the same directory as the script, or with the path to the script in another directory in the same path hierarchy, i.e. "python foo/myscript.py," in a subdirectory called foo).

All the variables you have set--$PATH, etc.-- help Terminal know where Python is. They do not help Python know where your script is.
