Command not found

[ifuchs]

I have a python script in the bin directory. If I try to run it by typing its name right after starting a shell, it will always fail with “: command not found“. However, it will always work the second and subsequent times.

I've tried, and I cannot reproduce the issue. I have a python script in the bin and it runs when I call it by name, even as the first command in a-Shell.

My python script:

#! python
print("it worked")

I realize this is not a high priority issue but just to show you what I am talking about, please see the video below. This happens right after I start ashell. The wordle command is a python script in the bin directory.

Can I get the script to give it a try?

[ifuchs]

Sure. I deleted most of the words in the valid and sol variables so the post would not be so long but if you want the unedited version I can post it elsewhere.

#! python

I cannot reproduce the issue, even with the same script. This one is a bit of a mystery.

[ifuchs]

I guess it must be something about my environment but I have no idea what that might be.

[ifuchs]

Strange, since it happens every time I start ashell.
