[Tutor] py_compile and chmod +x

[Emad Nawfal (عماد نوفل)]

Hi Tutors,
#! /usr/bin/env python
print "Hello Tutors"

I have this script saved as hello.py. Why can  I execute it, but not the
compiled version?  or am I doing something wrong? Just curious. Any help
appreciated.
For example :


emad at emad-laptop:~/Desktop/Programming/Haskell$ chmod  +x  hello.py
emad at emad-laptop:~/Desktop/Programming/Haskell$ ./hello.py
Hello Tutors

Now I compile it in Python:
>>> import py_compile
>>> py_compile.compile("hello.py")
>>>
emad at emad-laptop:~/Desktop/Programming/Haskell$ chmod +x hello.pyc

emad at emad-laptop:~/Desktop/Programming/Haskell$ ./hello.pyc
: command not found: �
./hello.pyc: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./hello.pyc: line 2: `�KIc

                                         Hello
