The shebang line goes into your python script, not your desktop launcher file.

I want to pm one of the admins to possibly set up a step-by-step guide to creating icon executable apps (and maybe desktop/mobile downloadble apps). I think it would be very instructional and there's nothing on SO or on YT (that I found at least...)

There really is no point to have it here at python-forum.io, as it is not python specific. You can make an alias to any command you want. You can have a launcher do anything, not just python. It could just be a bash script, ruby script, or even a compiled C script, etc. that the launcher launches. Is sounds more like a tutorial for ubuntu users rather than python. And to be honest, most linux users do not have the Windows mentality of double clicking things, but use the terminal. Thats exactly why i dont know how to do it, because i have never polluted my desktop with anything on linux in all the years i have used linux.

But if you want to make a tutorial for it, you can always post it in tutorial submissions here.
