Termux - Cannot run python file in tasker I am trying to run a python file in termux for use in tasker. The termux tasker plugin requires an executable (you can't just run a command like "python something.py"). However, running chmod +x results in operation not permitted.

Here is a screenshot of the top of my python file, pointing to the python I installed via "pkg install python".



Any help?
You need to grant Tasker root access in order to let it run the script.

The script requires an interpreter, as specified in its shebang line. To run the script "directly", Tasker still needs to execute the interpreter, the python3 binary. Since it's located in Termux's data directories, other apps can't access it without root access.
