Running python3 programs on osx Lion

I can use python 3 in terminal fine, but I don't know how to make it so terminal will run a program that I have written in python 3.

What do i have to do to associate the .py file extension with python3.2.3 for terminal and not python2.7.1

I am using textwrangler as my text editor, but will happily use any editor if it will run, though I don't think this is my problem as idle doesn't work either and it doesn't have line numbers in it either.

Kind regards

Rob

Add a python3 hashbang to the beginning of your scripts:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# do stuff

Then, you can make your script executable and run it:

chmod +x script.py
./script.py

try python3 yourprogram.py in your terminal.

or by adding this line on the top of our programs, this is the path to your interpreter:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3.2
