How to Run Python Script Without Typing 'Python ...'

how to run python script without typing 'python ...'

You've got to add the shebang:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Then make the script executable:

chmod +x foo

Then you can run it like any other executable:

./foo

And a note from Homer6: if you're editing the file from windows and invoking it on linux, you may run into the cryptic "No such file or directory" error. It's due to the line endings of the lines being CRLF instead of LF. If you convert them to LF, the script will execute as expected. Notepad++ > View > Show Symbols > Show End of Line to show the EOL characters. And Notepad++ > Edit > EOL Conversion > Unix Format to convert all line endings to use LF. Alternatively, you can use the dos2unix tool (dos2unix foo.py), which is present on most Linux systems.

How do i run a python program just by typing the script name on windows 10 cmd line?

I think what you want is to run the file 'mapIt.py' without invoking the keyword python that is:

>mapIt.py

instead of

>python mapIt.py

the way to do that in Linux or macOS is simple enough, you can add

#!/usr/bin/env python

to the top of the file, rename your file from mapIt.py to mapIt
make the script executable:

chmod +x mapIt

But for windows there is no straightforward solution.

One way you can do it is convert the file into an exe or

first add a python.exe association for all '.py' files

> assoc .py=Python

and then

> ftype Python="<path of your python.exe>" "%1" %*

replace the text in angular brackets (<>) with the path of your python.exe file.

Run python script without the python keyword

Add a shebang:

#!/usr/bin/python

or

#!/usr/bin/env python

I prefer the second one, since Python can be anywhere like /usr/bin/python, /usr/local/bin/python etc. and second one ensure that you don't have to keep editing the shebang.

And then you can just execute it as ./script.py if it is executable.
