Python3 shebang in conda windows
From raju
shebang in Python3 scripts under windows when using conda
Situation:
A lot of python3 scripts expect an executable called python3. For example, they may have a shebang like
#! /usr/bin/env python3
But if you are using Anaconda in Windows then there is no python3 executable. The executable is simply called python. Because of this, the scripts will fail with
/usr/bin/env: ‘python3’: No such file or directory
Solution: Use a pass through script such as https://github.com/KamarajuKusumanchi/rutils/blob/master/bin/windows/python3 which calls python from the py38 environment.
Assumptions:
- Using Windows 7, Anaconda
- The environment name, py38, is user specific. Change it accordingly.
