How can I copy text from Gedit?

Copy and paste python script?

  • im trying to copy a python script that someone has on a web page, its not in a file they just typed the script out to be copied, now, when i attempt to copy the script and paste it to gedit or any text editor for that matter, it does not execute, am i supposed to be doing something else before i paste the script content and make it a py file ?

  • Answer:

    How are you running the python file. If you're using gedit, I assume your on linux, thus did you make it executable or are you calling if from a python interpreter. Make sure you have the shabang in there to be certain (#!/usr/bin/env python). If you want to make it executable, go into a terminal, navigate to the file and do: chmod +x myFile.py where you replace myFile.py with your file.
