how I can make clickable or executable python file in linux.

[Jung Hun]

Hello,

I was trying to make clickable python file in linux. but it does not work for some reason.

I made test.py file and wrote down like below.
 
#!/usr/local/bin/python
print "this is test"
raw_input()

and I did chmod 777 test.py and also chmod +x test.py in the shell.
and when I double clicked it in file manager which is dolphin, it does not happen anything.

my system is
System:  Fedora release 13 (Goddard)
KDE:  4.5.5 (KDE 4.5.5)

thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,

Is your expectation that double clicking an executable python script would result in a terminal window being popped up? That isn't what is happening here. Most likely what you are getting is your python process not ending, because it is sitting on input from stdin, which it never gets.  See what happens after you double click the file, and then run this in a terminal:

$ ps aux | grep test

My guess is you will see these processes hanging around, until you kill it.

Hello Justin,

my goal is pyqt window being popped up with double clicking in file browser like the other software without typing python command in the shell.

this is the video that I was following. but it did not work for me.

Hey Jung,

I think the issue is that in KDE, you can associate default applications for file types.

On my system, it seemed to default to emacs (my editor of choice), I was able to change this

in the system settings, and make python the default app to launch.  However

this may not be very useful to you if you are trying to make this work in a production

environment as everyone may have their default apps set to apps other than python.

Hope this is at least a bit of help for you.
