RIght now, I type "python myfile.py" to run it.

How can I type "py myfile.py" to run it? Or better, do this ./myfile.py?

  1. You can add this as the first line of your python script:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    Which will allow you to run your script as:

    ./myfile.py

    But you must make sure you make your python script executable:

    chmod +x myfile.py
