I'm new with python, I've been learning for a few weeks. However now I've just changed my OS and I'm now using ubuntu and I can't run any script on my terminal.
I made sure to have the #!/usr/bin/env python
but when I go to the terminal and type, for example python test.py
the terminal shows an error message like this
python: can't open file 'test.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
what do I do?
I must save the file in any specific folder to make it run on terminal?
Set the PATH as below:
In the csh shell - type setenv PATH "$PATH:/usr/local/bin/python" and press Enter.
In the bash shell (Linux) - type export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/python" and press Enter.
In the sh or ksh shell - type PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin/python" and press Enter.
Note - /usr/local/bin/python is the path of the Python directory
now run as below:
-bash-4.2$ python test.py
Hello, Python!
Save your python file in a spot where you will be able to find it again. Then navigate to that spot using the command line (cd /home/[profile]/spot/you/saved/file) or go to that location with the file browser. If you use the latter, right click and select "Open In Terminal." When the terminal opens, type "sudo chmod +x Yourfilename." After entering your password, type "python ./Yourfilename" which will open your python file in the command line. Hope this helps!

First create the file you want, with any editor like vi r gedit. And save with. Py extension.In that the first line should be
Sorry, Im a newbie myself and I had this issue:
./hello.py: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token "Hello World"'
./hello.py: line 1:print("Hello World")'
I added the file header for the python 'deal' as #!/usr/bin/python
Then simple executed the program with './hello.py'
