How to give executable permission to all Python scripts in Linux?

The hard way

Run below with root privilege:

find /your/path/ -type f -name "*.py" -exec chmod u+x {} \;

Note:

chmod need not be run as root if you're the owner of .py file.

The smart way

Write a script to take care of this.

#!/bin/bash
if [ -f "$1" ]
then
geany "$1" # You could also use xdg-open if you set geany to open .py files
else
cp /path/to/python/startup/template "$1" # You may omit this if you don't have a default template
chmod u+x "$1"
geany "$1"
fi

Save the script as, say, pycreator in say /usr/bin/ , then do

chown root:root /usr/bin/pycreator
chmod +x-w /usr/bin/pycreator

To create a new script using pycreator, do

pycreator calculator.py

Also [ this ] answer pointed to by @choroba in his comment provides valuable insight in this regard.

Using the idea of @sjsam, I did following:

Suppose I have a file hello.py in any location.

cd to that location
find $PWD -type f -name "*.py" -exec chmod u+x {} \;
./hello.py

# Now, i can create any number of .py files in that folder and run ./filename

# Note: if we are running as user permission, and also have sudo access,
   we can also do:
   sudo -H find $PWD -type f -name "*.py" -exec chmod u+x {} \;

We should not use sudo unless absolutely necessary.

Thanks to sjsam.

Just type this command in terminal.

sudo su
