I have a python script, in which I have the following shebang #!/usr/bin/python the script permissions are -rwxrwxrwx. 1 user user 709 script.py the owner of the script is the same as the user I use to run the script.

I do not understand why I get Permission denied when I run ./script.py but I can run it with python script.py or /usr/bin/python script.py. What I am missing?

Linux distribution is RedHat 6

    Which distribution are you using? E.g. on Fedora it could theoretically be a SELinux issue.

  • I was having this same issue until I made the file executable. Are you 100% sure that you have the executable bit on? chmod u+x script.py

  • you could try using strace -f on the shell, then try to run the script, and see where you get the error
