Another way to do this would be to package your python script.

Then all you would have to do is run $ pip install package-name and simply running $ package-name from any directory would execute your python script.

I would recommend this method since it enables you to quickly share/install/use/remove your python script.

I wrote a simple script QuickPackage that can instantly create and upload python package for your awesome script by just entering the path of your python script.

Example:

$ pip install quickpackage

Usage :

Usage Simply run quickpackage and enter the path of your python script.

Example:

❯ quickpackage                                                    
Enter name: quickpackage
Enter version: 1.1
Enter description: Instantly create and upload python package for your script
Enter github url: https://github.com/yask123/quick-package
enter author: Yask Srivastava
Enter email: yask123@gmail.com
Path of python script file: run.py
running register
....
running upload
Submitting dist/quickpackage-1.1.tar.gz to https://pypi.python.org/pypi
Server response (200): OK

Now simply execute your script by running$ quickpackage (In this case)
