I have the following program:

#!/usr/local/bin/python3print("Hello")

Via terminal I do test.py and I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site.py", line 629, in <module>main()File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site.py", line 614, in mainknown_paths = addusersitepackages(known_paths)File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site.py", line 284, in addusersitepackagesuser_site = getusersitepackages()File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site.py", line 260, in getusersitepackagesuser_base = getuserbase() # this will also set USER_BASEFile "/usr/lib/python3.3/site.py", line 250, in getuserbaseUSER_BASE = get_config_var('userbase')File "/usr/lib/python3.3/sysconfig.py", line 610, in get_config_varreturn get_config_vars().get(name)File "/usr/lib/python3.3/sysconfig.py", line 560, in get_config_vars_init_posix(_CONFIG_VARS)File "/usr/lib/python3.3/sysconfig.py", line 432, in _init_posixfrom _sysconfigdata import build_time_varsFile "/usr/lib/python3.3/_sysconfigdata.py", line 6, in <module>from _sysconfigdata_m import *
ImportError: No module named '_sysconfigdata_m'

Instead if I type python3 test.py it works, I get:

Hello

P.S. which python3 ----> /usr/local/bin/python3

Generally, take care of some pitfalls:

1. set the executable flag on the script: chmod u+x test.py

2. try to execute with a preceding dot "./", so call ./test.py otherwise it might execute some other script from within your PATH

3. also make sure you don't have windows line endings, this seems to prevent the shebang evaluation, too. There are some suggestions around, e.g. in this answer, on how to convert the format.

   If python3 test.py works, then the windows line endings are probably your problem.

4. #!/usr/bin/env python3 is the best way to define the shebang (i.e. use this as first line of your script), since the python binary may be installed somewhere else. env will inspect the PATH environment to find the binary

5. As @ShaileshKumarMPatel has pointed out in the comments here, make sure, there's no wrong line beginnings (color characters etc)

EDIT: The OP's kind of error looks like windows line endings to me. I've had them, too, with different output though
