Toy example demonstrating paths and readlink and linked bash scripts

This is how you symlink a pointer to a bash executable that calls a Python script. It's all about managing paths with GNU readlink.

Only works in Linux. For Mac, you need GNU readlink (install from brew install coreutils) and change script to call greadlink

To test, clone this repo to a tmp folder somewhere like ~/tmp/whatdir. Then:

./install.sh
cd ~
./whatdir

• ~/whatdir is linked to ~/tmp/whatdir/main.sh
• main.sh figures out local path and executes main.py
• main.py arbitrarily imports another python file in current folder
