Calling a python script from command line without typing "python" first

Question

Question: In command line, how do I call a python script without having to type python in front of the script's name? Is this even possible?

---

Info:

I wrote a handy script for accessing sqlite databases from command line, but I kind of don't like having to type "python SQLsap args" and would rather just type "SQLsap args". I don't know if this is even possible, but it would be good to know if it is. For more than just this program.

Answer 1

You can prepend a shebang on the first line of the script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

This will tell your current shell which command to feed the script into.
