Whenever I write a new Python script in Windows, to execute it on UNIX I need to first give permission through chmod and then I have run dos2unix to make it executable.

I don't want to run these commands. Is there any way to to add permission and UNIX formatting in the script itself?

P.S. I have checked this link.

Why not use the `subprocess` to execute `chmod` for your scripts? – Sam Chats Jul 20 '17 at 12:52

There is no need to make a Python Script _**executable**_. Run it using `python `. – stovfl Jul 20 '17 at 17:51

But even if you add it to the script, the script needs to be executed first in order to make those added lines take action. – Sam Chats Jul 21 '17 at 10:40
