Running a python script from Git Bash for Windows

[rdharles]

Hi,

I'd like to run a python script without typing the full path to the script location.  It would also be nice not to have to type "python" before the script name.

I'm able to type python and go into the interpreter so we know bash know the path to python.exe:

When I type the name of the script, it doesn't run, but as you can see it knows where the path to the script location:

With "python" in front of the script name, it still doesn't work despite bash knowing where the script is:

It will work if you type "python" and then the full path to the script:

Any thoughts on how I can get this to work?

Thank for any ideas you have!

A short workaround may be to put a ./ before the script name to signal that it is in the current directory. It sounds like an issue with python not accepting the current working directory. Could bash be passing in a Posix path instead of a Windows one?

Thanks for taking the time to respond.  I'll look into Posix path vs. Windows path.

It could also be an extra Carriage Return in the shebang line (MSYS2's
Runtime expects Unix line endings, not Windows ones).

I played around with the shebang line and these 2 versions both worked for my setup...

#!python  or  #!/usr/bin/env python

 Thanks for your response.

the 2nd shebang worked for me
