Creating and Running Python Scripts

When starting a new project, create a directory and change into it:
mkdir directoryname
cd directoryname

Running a Python file:

- all Python files should have a .py suffix
python filename.py

Or, add to the top of each Python file:

#!usr/bin/env python

Then file can be run as:

>> ./ filename.py

If permissions are not correct:

chmod +x filename.py
