[Tutor] python scripting using "./"

[Hank Wilkinson]

John-Wilkinsons-iMac:p31summerfield wilkinson$ cat hello.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

print("Hello world")
John-Wilkinsons-iMac:p31summerfield wilkinson$ chmod +X hello.py
John-Wilkinsons-iMac:p31summerfield wilkinson$ ./hello.py
-bash: ./hello.py: Permission denied
John-Wilkinsons-iMac:p31summerfield wilkinson$
