I'm learning python and I'm attempting to make a python file executable. This is the code

#! /Users/<me>/PycharmProjects/untitled3 print ("Hello World")

in the terminal I typed.

$ chmod +x paperclip.py

And then

$ ./paperclip.py

But I get

-bash: ./paperclip.py: /Users/<me>/PycharmProjects/untitled3: bad interpreter: Permission denied

How do I fix this? Thanks.

Edit: Even after I changed the top line to 

#!/Users/<me>/PycharmProjects/untitled3 python

or

#! /Users/<me>/PycharmProjects/untitled3 python3

Never mind. Thanks

  • the shebang is wrong. It should mention python. Can you try #! /usr/bin/env python instead? Commented Oct 1, 2016 at 21:55

    #! /usr/bin/env python3 would likely be more appropriate since you're wanting Python 3 instead of the default Python 2. You can create a symlink if it's not already done by following the steps in this answer. Commented Oct 1, 2016 at 23:13

    Use #!/usr/bin/python to use the OS X system python or a path to the interpreter you wish to use -- not the script path Commented Oct 2, 2016 at 2:17
