What is the python command in Linux?

In Linux, you can use the python command to run a Python script or enter the interactive Python shell. For example, to run a script named my_script.py, you would use the following command:

python my_script.py

To enter the interactive Python shell, simply run the python command without any arguments:

python

Once in the shell, you can enter Python code and it will be executed immediately. You can exit the interactive shell by typing the exit() command or pressing CTRL + D.
