Subject: Re: [Tutor] First line of a python program
In computing, a shebang (also called a hashbang, hashpling, pound bang,
or crunchbang) refers to the characters "#!" when they are the first two
characters in a text file. In a Unix-like operating system, the program
#! /usr/bin/python
If you want to execute this script, you need to run the Python
interpreter and tell it to load the script file and run it
for you:
$ /usr/bin/python myscript
You could just set your script to be executable (by setting the
right permission bits) and then you can run it as a command
without naming python yourself:
$ myscript
Okay. So if I were to place the following in my Windows XP py v.2.6.2 :
$ (name of python script)
Then as long as python was in my path I would be able to type the name of
the script like a Dos batch file (ex: lowertoupper.py or lowertoupper)
instead of having to type python lowertoupper.py? And it will run as
normal?
Thanks also to Steve W.
Thanks in advance,
Katt
