How do I run a python script from a file? (UNIX)

Question

Basically what I want to do is make a file called doPython and in this file I want to do the command:

python myFile.py data.txt

I've tried Googling and making a few scripts but I can't seem to get it to work. It says "No such file or directory when I try with

#!/usr/bin/env python
python myFile.py data.txt

Answer 1

#!/usr/bin/env python says that your script is to be run with the Python interpreter. You just need to call sh or bash :

#!/bin/sh
python myFile.py data.txt
