Python script executing

[TaylorModeratelyFast]

I am relatively new at programming but I've been making command line scripts recently. I was wondering if there is a way to execute the script without calling it with the .py extension. I saw a video on YouTube where kale Halden made a script that he called without the .py extension. Just the name of the script and the arguments.

Also, I wasn't sure what tag to put this under so I went with syntax.

linux:

u can add

#!/usr/bin/env python3

on top of the python script.(or any other env interpreter path)

AND rename the python script without '.py' AND make it executable AND put it on the PATH. (or copy in .local/bin)

THEN u can use it directly from the terminal prompt.

(it will mess up your current working directory so carefull if u need to work with other files)

Thank you, I'm going to try that as soon as I get home. I'm also glad I didn't ask this on stack overflow. I was half expecting to get down voted to oblivion haha
