Unable to get shebang line working in Ubuntu for python script. I only get a command not found error each time.
test.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
print ('!')
Ran
:which python /usr/bin/python
Played around with different locations for python in the shebang but no luck including what was provided by which python. Any tips on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks

Answer
If you are trying to run the command as
$ test.py
the error may not have anything to do with the shebang. Rather, the directory that test.py resides in is not in your PATH. Try
$ ./test.py
to bypass PATH lookup.
(This is in addition to making sure that the script itself is executable.)
