Python icons in Ubuntu

[KatManDEW]

I have some Python files that run when I double click on them, but I have others that have a different icon and they won't run when I double click on them. What is the difference in these files? I'm running Ubuntu on a Raspberry 4.

The ones you can't run by clicking don't contain a shebang. Lookup Python shebang.

Thank you!!! Going to look that up now.

That worked. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure that out before posting here in desperation. Thank you!!!

You may also need to chmod 700 the file, or use the GUI to set the 'executable' flag.
