What do I use on linux to make a python program executable

Question

I just installed a linux system (Kubuntu) and was wondering if there is a program to make python programs executable for linux.

Answer 1

I do the following:

1. put #! /usr/bin/env python3 at top of script
2. chmod u+x file.py
3. Change .py to .command in file name

This essentially turns the file into a bash executable. When you double-click it, it should run. This works in Unix-based systems.
