Python Web Development Techdegree Student 9,205 PointsTo get ./diary to work on windows I used #!/usr/bin/env python
The only installation of Python I have on my machine currently is Python3. If I had python2 as well though then I would probably need to specify which version I wanted to run though right?

5,061 Pointsthis is not working in workspaces - /usr/bin/env: 'python3\r' No such file or directory
Steven Parker
231,269 PointsTry it without the "\r".
Ross Coe
5,061 Pointsit was without the \r - that was part of the return error
Steven Parker
231,269 PointsIn that case, it sounds like your file is in Windows text format (CR/LF) and not Linux format (LF only).
Ross Coe
5,061 Pointsthis was in workspaces - though I found workspaces to be very cachey (?) sometimes if you run the exact same code in a different session and it will pass
Steven Parker
231,269 PointsThe workspaces use Linux. A "\r" is a return (CR) character, which should not be part of a Linux text file.

5,061 PointsSteven - I just used the she-bang on a file I'm using now Python Testing - Writing and Running Doctests and it worked.. I let you know if I see the \r again
- I was in workspaces though (no "fake news" ;) )
