Is Python installed? If yes, it might only be available in the path as python3, you could symlink it to python in that case.

Alternatively you could explicitly pass the script to the python interpreter instead of attempting to execute the script (something like python ./movescreen).

This has worked for years wonderfully. It stopped working for me recently on Ubuntu 22.04 You are absolutely correct. In a new window I tried and sure enough, no python any longer!:

poleguy@elgar:~$ /usr/local/bin/movescreen.py right
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
poleguy@elgar:~$ which python
poleguy@elgar:~$

My simple hack to fix was to change the shebang to call out python3:

!/usr/bin/env python3

I use this with a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Super+Left and Ctrl+Super+Right and it keeps my hand off the mouse.

Thanks!

Looks like Ubuntu discarded python exec for security reasons because Python 2 was totally discontinued : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3655306/ubuntu-usr-bin-env-python-no-such-file-or-directory

I might change the shebang. Another solution could be : sudo apt install python-is-python3
