Python scripts in /usr/bin

Question

I\'m writing a pretty basic application in python (it\'s only one file at the moment). My question is how do I get it so the python script is able to be run in /usr/bin without

Answer 1

I see in the official Python tutorials, http://docs.python.org/tutorial/index.html, that

#! /usr/bin/env python

is used just as the answers above suggest. Note that you can also use the following

#!/usr/bin/python

This is the style you'll see for in shell scripts, like bash scripts. For example

#!/bin/bash

Seeing that the official tuts go with the first option that is probably your best bet. Consistency in code is something to strive for!
