I have a python script called script.py that takes in arguments and gives the output. Every time I use the script, I copy it to local working directory and then execute it as python script.py --arg1=a. I was wondering if there is a way to call the python function in local working directory without copying it, like how u can copy u c++ build files to /usr/local/bin and call it from anywhere.
Thanks.
You can try this steps:
put #!/usr/bin/python on the first line of your script.
making it executable by using chmod +x script.py
Move it to /usr/bin directory
then try to execute script.py in the terminal.
/usr/bin probably not the best spot. Better to edit the PATH to add a $HOME/bin, for exampleAdd a shebang to the script - Should I put #! (shebang) in Python scripts, and what form should it take?
#!/usr/bin/env python3
print('hello')
Make it executable
chmod +x script.py
Then you can execute it from the local (or any other) directory
./script.py
If you want to be globally available, you need to edit your PATH
