Python script file (*.py) on USB drive

[Resistent]

I have a Python script program on the harddrive. Executing works, program starts. OK





Copying the same program to an USB stick, Execution don't work. --> Why ?
(but I also did

chmod +x keryx

.. That's in the LXTerminal 0.1.11 of Lubuntu. I don't know yet why colors are different handled...
must not because keryx is not executeable.. the AUTHORS and COPYING for example are also not green on the USB drive)





thx for your answers

Probably because the USB drive is formated with a filesystem (FAT / NTFS etc.) that doesn't support Unix-style permission bits. You should still be able to execute it by specifying the python interpreter on the command line i.e.

python keryx
