Oops! You misread his question. The question was, how can he run a
python script by simply double clicking on it in the file browser in
Ubuntu?

Now I don't know the answer to that question, but I can say that nearly
all the time you just don't want to do that anyway, for reasons I state
below.

Instead, open a terminal, change to the directory where you python
script is and either run it directly (if it's chmod'd as exectuable)
using "./myscript.py" or use the python interpreter: "python3
/path/to/myscript.py"

The reason scripts are rarely launched from the file browser like you
want to do is that often scripts communicate with the user via standard
out, so you need to run them from a terminal.

There are some GUI programs written in Python, but those are usually
launched from a .desktop file shortcut.
