Following Code works in python interpreter but not as a script

I just made a tiny code to change the colors of my led strip in Linux too (I already did it in C# on Windows).

import serial
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0', 9600)
ser.write(b'a')

When I type this into bash like this:

$sudo python2
>>>import serial
>>>ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0', 9600)
>>>ser.write(b'a')
1

it's working fine, but if I then execute the .py script like this:

$sudo python2 light.py

The ser.write part seems not to work. I dont get an err msg or anything. But I know that it's communicatin with the arduino cause the Onboard LED flashes when I execute the script.

Okay, got it, the Arduino resets after getting serial input, I just added a 3 Seconds delay before writing the Serial data
