Linux – Running Python scripts in linux

linuxpythonscriptingshell

I'm trying to run Python scripts with a shebang on Ubuntu. When I create a python script

    #! /usr/bin/env python
    import sys

… and run it I get a shell error:

    root@host:/home/user# ./test.py
    : No such file or directory

How can I make it work?

Solution: Remove '\r's from line endings with dos2unix.

I assume the script is executable? Also, check for carriage returns -- maybe windows got its dirty little hands on it? You can check this with 'cat -vE test.py' and look for '\r'.
