[Tutor] Shebang problem

[Rick Thomas]

Hi,

I'm very new to programming and am plodding my way through Alan Gauld's book 
'Learn to Program Using Python'.  At present I can't get my programs to 
execute using the Shebang trick.

#!/usr/bin/python

My scripts ran fine when I was using SuSE 7.3 but I've recently upgraded to 
8.3 and wondered if this is somehow the problem.  My scripts run ok  if I type 
for example 'python foo.py' in a terminal.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
