Apr 24, 2016 · @kasperd What the kernel needs in order for a Python script to run using ./scriptname doesn't validate your claim that running a script from the commandline by using python3. There are different ways of running python scripts and doing python3 ./mnik.py is also a proper way of doing things, it is just different (and at least you get python3 ...

Dec 28, 2013 · Use the shebang line in your python script. Make it executable using the command, chmod +x test.py Use no hangup to run the program in the background even if you close your terminal, nohup /path/to/test.py & or simply (without making any change in your program) nohup python /path/to/test.py & Do not forget to use & to put it in the background.

Nov 5, 2015 · @MSalters The execute bit also has a lot less information encoded in it. And note that you might have multiple Python2 interpreters on a given system (there was a similar situation with Ruby and other languages at a previous job of mine); dealing with this via the shebang line is nearly trivial, whereas the situation on Windows gets substantially less tractable the more you …

I think you should move your Python file to /usr/local/bin or /bin and remove the .py at the end and add #!/bin/python3 to first line of your python file then copy you icon to /usr/share/pixmaps and add this in the .desktop file. Exec=<your file name which is in bin> Icon=<your logo name without .png or xpm at back>

Feb 27, 2015 · The shell can get its information on how to run a script from two sources (in order of precedence): The language information in the command: python <script> The shebang, in the first line of the script: #!/usr/bin/env python; The language extension however does not play a role(!). A few examples:

Apr 14, 2020 · I would like to start a python script from a virtual environment on startup. I have searched the whole forum and other sources but have not been able to make it work. The script should run at the scripts directory as working directory and also the terminal that started the script should be kept visible.

Aug 3, 2015 · In my scenario I have a folder that contains movies and the Python script gets the details (name, year, plot, rating, etc) from OMDb and puts them into a file, which MySQL uses. Every time I add a movie I have to run the Python script. I want to know if it is possible to automatically run the Python script when a file has been added to the folder?

Nov 4, 2016 · Your problem here is that the command you try to run with sudo is python; the script is first argument to python. Instead , your script should has executable permissions, and you're supposed to run it as sudo script_name. Second, when you do python script_name, it won't necessarily look for your script, wherever it's stored. You either would ...

Nov 24, 2019 · @Steve It's not what I'm looking for. I need to run my script immediately after the boot and then every thirty minutes. So, if I boot by system at 08:01 the script must be run at 08:01, 08:31, 09:01 and so on, not at 08:30, 09:00, 09:30 and so on. –

Depending on your particular use-case this may or may not solve your problem, but this wasn't yet mentioned here. Say, you want to run a Python script that was installed in your virtual environment, and you need to setuid(0) it, i.e. you want to run it as superuser. Say, your script is called myscript.py, then, you can do it like this:
