Putting these lines at the starting of the code will tell your operating systems to look up the binary program needed for the execution of the python script i e it is the python interpreter   So it depends on your operating system where it keeps the python interpreter  As I have Ubuntu as operating system it keeps the python interpreter in  usr bin python so I have to write this line at the starting of my python script      usr bin python   After completing and saving your code   Start your command terminal Make sure the script lies in your present working directory  Type chmod  x script name py Now you can start the script by clicking the script  An alert box will appear  press  Run  or  Run in Terminal  in the alert box  or  at the terminal prompt  type   script name py

I do the following    put     usr bin env python3 at top of script chmod u x file py Change  py to  command in file name   This essentially turns the file into a bash executable  When you double-click it  it should run  This works in Unix-based systems

Another way to do it could be by creating an alias  For example in terminal write   alias printhello  python  home hello world py    Writing printhello will run hello world py  but this is only temporary  To make aliases permanent  you have to add them to bashrc  you can edit it by writing this in the terminal   gedit    bashrc
