Run python script like a Linux command

I want to run my python function in console like this:

my_function_name

at any directory, I tried to follow arajek's answer in this question: run a python script in terminal without the python command

but I still need to call my_function_name.py to make it work. If I call only my_function_name, the console will inform me command not found . I also tried to add a symbolic link with this answer: Running a Python Script Like a Built-in Shell Command but it failed

sudo ln -s my_function_name.py /home/thovo/test/my_function_name

ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/home/thovo/test/my_function_name/my_function_name.py’: File exists

Add this shebang to the top of your file: #!/usr/bin/env python and remove the file extension.

Change the name of the script to no longer have the .py extension.
