Python3 shebang -bash: ./main.py: Permission denied
Please actually read my post instead of just the title. This is a larger system issue, not a typo or a file permissions issue.
I am attempting to run my script without having to type in 'python3' before every test run, and potentially to make scheduling a cron job easier. No matter what I've tried, I always get the error -bash: ./main.py: Permission denied. I've tried the following:
- Using every version of python in
/usr/bin/with or without a space after '#!' - Using every version of python with
/usr/bin/env [python version]. - Running
chmod 777on every python file in/usr/bin - Running
chmod 777on every file and folder in my script directory. - The user running the script is in both the
rootandwheelgroups. - Running the script as root gives the same results.
- Adding the shebang to every python file in my script directory.
I'm at a loss here. Every other post I've seen about this is just saying to do chmod +x, which doesn't apply in my case.
Edit 1: I've now tried reinstalling both bash and python, as well as running dos2unix on all of my script files to make sure the EOL characters weren't the problem. No luck.

The problem ended up being that the directory the scripts were in had the noexec flag set.
