Run .py file in Kali Linux Terminal - grayarea3 - Feb-27-2019
How do I run a .py file in the Kali Linux terminal?
I changed my directory to the directory containing my file, used the chmod a+x <myfilename> command, and then used the ./<myfilename> command. All I get is a blank line with no output. I would be grateful for any suggestions!

Does your program print anything for you to see? Do you have a shebang on the first line? Try running it as
Quote:python ./filename.py

Now I'm getting the error "NameError: name 'python' is not defined.

First print the PATH, echo $PATH. This is where the OS searches for programs. Python has to be installed in one of these locations.

NameError suggest you are already in python environment.Wild guess - you are trying to run it in interactive mode. Or you have shebang in the file that's not correct somehow
