I have created this python script called 'SleepCalc.py'. It is a simple script that tells me when to wake up based on 90 minute sleep cycles. Usually I open terminal, cd command my way to the dir containing the .py and then execute the script with the 'python' command.
What I want to know is how can I make an app/automator workflow/apple script that I can double click and it executes the python script in the terminal without me having to cd, etc.
Add shebang: #!/usr/bin/env python at the top of your script.
And then give the file permission to execute by:
chmod +x SleepCalc.py
You open Terminal and enter nano at the top. It opens up a Terminal-based text editor.
After that, type python followed by the file path (at the beginning, include ~/ because the computer starts at the root).
Do Control-X, click Yes, and save it as launch.command.
After that, type chmod +x and drag the newly created file into the Terminal window. This gives permission for the file to execute.
From then on, you can double click the .command file to launch SleepCalc.py.
