Permission denied for Python script using Bash?

Question

I am new to Ubuntu... I am trying to run my first simple python program \"Hello World\" ... After running following commands in terminal

1. chmod +x filename         


        

Answer 1

Do you have the appropriate incantation at the top of your python file? e.g.,

#!/usr/bin/python (or alternatively #!/usr/bin/env python)

Just to clarify, chmod +x only makes a file executable, it doesn't run it.

And I'm assuming your script looks like nothing more complex than this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print 'hello world'
