[SOLVED] create a shell wrapper script to run a python file

Issue

I'm having problems when creating a shell wrapper script to be able to run a python file through my terminal. I'm using this as my wrapper:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
python3 -u index.py "$@"

And I get this error:

File "/mnt/c/Users/...", line 2
    python3 -u index.py "$@"
               ^^^^^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I have granted permissions to both the wrapper and the python file with the following commands:

chmod +x dag
chmod u+x index.py

I'm trying to do all of this in Windows, in case that is important. And I have python installed and in my PATH so that it's recognized. Any idea?

Solution

I think your shebang line is wrong.
It should probably read #!/usr/bin/env bash or similar.
Else the script is executed using the python interpreter instead of the shell.
