Ooh thanks! I'll definitely have a play with this. What's the step before this? Is it as simple as installing python, putting the code in somefile.py, then running it?
Yep, if you are running any type of Linux python is already installed.
I always have a path in my python files to allow for direct running rather than calling python first. This only works on Linux.
If you put
#!/usr/bin/env python3
as the very first line, you can make the file executable and it will just run
otherwise you will have to call python first, e.g.
python yourFile.py
Awesome, thanks! I'll have a play with this over the weekend.
