To expand further, some distributions of Linux set a 'bin' path under
your home folder as part of your native PATH, even if it doesn't exist.
So if your Linux username is, say, "mscott", see if "echo $PATH" already
includes something like "/home/mscott/bin" in the path already. If so,
simply create a bin folder:
mkdir ~/bin
and then place your Python scripts within that folder, and follow
Edgar's other advice about adding #!/usr/local/bin/python and using
"chmod +x filename.py" etc.
If you're on a non-Linux platform, I'm sure others can provide further help.

hey ! i can answer that !
birst in the fist line of you script put something like this
#!/usr/local/bin/python
change the path for where you have python ( try using 'whereis python' )
sencond make the file executable add the +x attribute ( using chmod )
third put the script in some place and and that path to the PATH
enviroment variable.
good luck

Okay, my title might be undescriptive, let me try to explain it better. I
want to take a script I've written and make it usable by typing its name in
the terminal. Perfect example is the python interpreter. You just type in
the word python to the terminal and then the interpreter runs. I know other
programs can do this as well (like mozilla or nautilus or rhythmbox). So
how do I make my scripts executable from the terminal?

What is it about you... that intrigues me so?
