mod_python ignoring shebang and using Python 2 instead of 3

Question

I'm trying to run a script in the browser. I installed mod_python for running web-based applications on the server and set a shebang in my script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

import sys

def index():
    print ("Content-type: text/html\n")
    print('Version Python {0}'.format(sys.version_info[0]))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    index()

However, when I run my script from the browser (my application), I see that the Python version is 2. When I run the script from the console, using:

python3 index.py

Python version 3.3.5 is used as expected. Why is mod_python ignoring the shebang?

UPD. The Question closed

• I opted out of the mod_python.
• I founded a mistake in shebang (I should set \n line endings for Unix).
• Writed wrapper on php for running python 3

Answer 1

Set executable flag on the file:

chmod a+x yourfile.py

Then, execute it as:

./yourfile.py

Answer 2

When shebang is used follow this steps to run the code.

This makes your file executable

chmod +x index.py

This helps your code to execute

./index.py
