“sudo python anyfile.py” not working in LXTerminal

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I have created a .py file that turns on a LED, as in the tutorials on raspberrypi.org.

It is my understanding that I should be able to open the LXTerminal in Raspbian, type the following command and have the .py file execute properly.

sudo python led_on.py

The .py script executes fine in the python terminal so the script is good.

It is my understanding that when I type sudo python led_on.py in the LXTerminal it should also work.

Are my statements correct? Should this command in the LXTerminal work?

sudo python led_on.py
