I have a python script on my desktop that I want to execute by clicking on it. I have permissions set and all that, but it won't launch by clicking on it. I can start it using the terminal and everything works as expected.

Here's the script:

#!/usr/bin/env/python
import subprocess

subprocess.run(['python', '/filepath/EDITOR.py'])

subprocess.run(['python', '/filepath/ULTRASOUND_SIMULATOR.py'])

I've been able to launch the "ULTRASOUND_SIMULATOR.py" script from the desktop with a click.

    #!/usr/bin/env/python is incorrect. It should be #!/usr/bin/env python. Commented Dec 21, 2022 at 21:47
  • I have tried that, and "python 3", and still nothing. I click, it offers 4 options: - execute, execute in terminal, open, cancel. Neither executes do anything. Commented Dec 22, 2022 at 14:05
  • Try #!/usr/bin/env python3 with no space. Commented Dec 22, 2022 at 14:53
  • I have tried many variations of the shebang. I have a different script that had #!/usr/bin/python3.7 and that one worked by clicking on it, and then execute. This time, I have two different scripts, both with the same shebang, and nothing happens. All the files are set to the right permissions. I am not sure what else I can try.

  • Are you sure the executable bit is set - chmod +x filename.py? My Pi seems to have disappeared, so I can't replicate your situation. There's really not much else I can think of... Commented Dec 23, 2022 at 2:23
