python: import error after making program executable
python
Solution
Your program is trying to run like a bash-script, so it seems, your `#!/usr/bin/env python` had no effect. Make sure that this line is at the top of the program in the first row with no characters before `#`
Problem
When I run the program as `python JIRAClient.py`, everything works fine. But after I make the program executable by adding `#!/usr/bin/env python` and giving it execute permission, I get some error when I try to run the program as `./JIRAClient.py` ``` from: can't read /var/mail/jira.client Version: ImageMagick 6.8.6-3 2013-07-06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2013 ImageMagick Studio LLC Features: DPC Modules Delegates: bzlib freetype jng jpeg png xml zlib Usage: import [options ...] [ file ] Image Settings: ......

And what is the difference between these two methods of running the program? The lines of code that produce error are as following: ``` from jira.client import JIRA import ConfigParser config_ini = 'config.ini' config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() dataset = config.read(config_ini) ```
