Why do people write #!/usr/bin/env python on the first line of a Python script?
I am currently teaching myself Python and I have a question about python. In many examples of Python, I've seen the same line of code at the top:
#!/usr/bin/env python
My question is what purpose does the code above serve, and why is it necessary? So far, I've been practicing Python code without this line of code. If someone could explain this to me, it would help a lot. Thanks in advance.
