I came across a Python 3 tutorial for displaying a monthly calendar and it worked a treat from the command-line but for some reason it would not work after i added the Python shebang

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python 3.6.

Instead it would produce a load of errors. Have since been informed that i had to change the file name from calendar.py to my_calendar.py and once again it worked a treat.
Still cannot work it out why the program didn't work because 'calendar' is not a reserved word?

Python has a module called calendar.py so you can't use the same name for your own script :)

[EDIT] A list of Python modules can be found here:

Should have thought that it was a module because i did check the Python reserved word list but didn't think of checking Python modules. Big thanks for the help DeepThought it really was appreciated.

No probs :)

A little tip when writing your own scripts, add my or even your own initials to a script, avoids conflicts with default scripts already in place. So my-calendar.py or in my case dt-calendar.py should be ok :)

Hello once again DeepThought
I shall definitely take onboard your suggestion using initials on scripts to avoid conflicts.Big thanks
