How to resolve "bad interpreter: Permission denied" with #! /usr/bin/python3

I'm trying to use the '#! /usr/bin/python3' on a centos7 but since I had to install Python3 via:

Yum install centos-release-scl
Yum install rh-python36
scl enable rh-python36 bash

The Python3 isn't in the /usr/bin/python3

I tried using: #! /opt/rh/rh-python36

I get these errors when trying to run a python script

bash: ./pw.py: /opt/rh/rh-python36: bad interpreter: Permission denied
./pw.py: /opt/rh/rh-python36: bad interpreter: Permission denied

Just check which Python interpreter is active using either which python or type python commands. Enter the path output by either of the two commands in Shebang and the script should run.

Easy, but not elegant fix: Try downloading a local user version of Python and reference that local Python3 file #! /local/path/python3.

This means your folder permissions are not allowing you to use that interpreter. Please verify that /opt/rh/rh-python36 has it's permissions set so that you can read and execute there, otherwise it will give you a permission denied error.

sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/rh/rh-python36/
