I think I understand.
One thing you can do is create a "myprogram.bat" file with an entry something
like:
python c:/myprogrampath/myprogram.py
Put the "myprogram.bat" file in the root directory or any directory in the
PATH. Then it will behave like an executable.
In Linux, it would be "myprogram.sh" with the executable bit set.

Subject: Re: [Tutor] Making a script part of the terminal
Thank you for the reply, but thats not exactly what I mean. Perhaps I should
say, how do I install a program to my computer, so that I can use it by its
self without running it with python. No matter what directory I'm in I can type
mozilla in and it runs, no matter what directory I'm in if I type sudo
natutilus it will run, no matter what directory I'm in if I type gedit it will
run.
So I'm trying to achieve this with the script I wrote. I don't know the
terminology to ask the question correctly, so forgive me.

We just had a similar question yesterday.
Just make sure Python is on your PATH. CD to the directory where your file is
located and then you can just type "python myfile.py" where myfile is the name
of your file.

Okay, my title might be undescriptive, let me try to explain it better. I
want to take a script I've written and make it usable by typing its name in the
terminal. Perfect example is the python interpreter. You just type in the word
python to the terminal and then the interpreter runs. I know other programs can
do this as well (like mozilla or nautilus or rhythmbox). So how do I make my
scripts executable from the terminal?
