Hi,
I wanted to make a python byte-code file executable, expecting to be able to run it without specifying "python" on the (Linux bash) command line.
So, I wrote the following:
[root at VMLinux1 python]# cat test_pyc.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
print "hello"
[root at VMLinux1 python]#
and made its pyc file executable:
[root at VMLinux1 python]# ls -ls test_pyc.pyc
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 106 Jul 29 14:22 test_pyc.pyc
[root at VMLinux1 python]#
So, I see:
[root at VMLinux1 python]# file test_pyc.py*
test_pyc.py: a python script text executable
test_pyc.pyc: python 2.3 byte-compiled
[root at VMLinux1 python]#
If I try to do the following, no problem:
[root at VMLinux1 python]# python test_pyc.pyc
hello
[root at VMLinux1 python]#
However, the following fails:
[root at VMLinux1 python]# ./test_pyc.pyc
-bash: ./test_pyc.pyc: cannot execute binary file
[root at VMLinux1 python]#
Is there a way to run a pyc file without specifying the python path ?
Bye,
Ron.
