Hi, I had the same problem It took me hours to solve it! I'm new to Linux so maybe that's why. I was making the file executable by using chmod -x myfile.py instead of chmod +x myfile.py this - changes the permission of the executable file so that file isn't going to be executed as a program!

I hope this helps and Happy coding :)
