Question: In command line, how do I call a python script without having to type python in front of the script’s name? Is this even possible?


Info:

I wrote a handy script for accessing sqlite databases from command line, but I kind of don’t like having to type “python SQLsap args” and would rather just type “SQLsap args”. I don’t know if this is even possible, but it would be good to know if it is. For more than just this program.

    You can prepend a shebang on the first line of the script:

    #!/usr/bin/env python
    

    This will tell your current shell which command to feed the script into.
