While running a file entitled shuf.py in the linux environment, I run into this following error

./shuf.py -e cats and dogs
-bash: ./shuf.py: /usr/bin/python^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

But when i do the same thing as below, it works fine python shuf.py -e cats and dogs

I appended my PATH so that it is correct and the first line of my code is #!/usr/bin/python

I'm not sure what the problem is?

    Looks like your script has the wrong line endings (saved on a windows machine?). You can use `tr` to translate, e.g. `tr -d '\r' < shuf.py > shuf-new.py` – AChampion Apr 28 '18 at 18:38

    use the dos2unix command line utility to convert your script – What Apr 28 '18 at 18:38
  • The tr command makes it work! But i also have to make sure that the code works with Python3, and when i change the first line to #!/usr/bin/python, I get the error that -bash: ./shuf-new.py: /usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory – Devam Shroff Apr 28 '18 at 18:48
