Using Geany for development in Linux

Robin2:
If that is working then my Python program should run (albeit do nothing) when you enter

~/bin/pythonbuild.py

in a terminal.

"bad interpreter" when run as above. I had to put python in front, like the shebang isn't recognized

You said you get "permission denied" so that seems to be the main problem because you said it does work when you enter

python pythonbuild.py dev/Arduino/sample/sample.ino

Yes, when entered at the terminal

and I presume it will run my program when you enter

python pythonbuild.py

Yes, it does at both the command line and Geany, but will run errors out in Geany if I enter
the %d/%f

You have not said if you tried using Geany with the command

python ~/bin/pythonbuild.py "%d/%f"

I get the invalid working directory error

Yes, but the syntax highlighting is not identical to the Arduino IDE. To be honest the colours are meaningless.
I am told ver 3.2 and later has arduino filetypes. I was using ver 2.7

Thanks for your help Robin. I need to walk away from this for a couple of days. When I figure it out
I will post what if anything was going on. If I can figure it out. May just take a fresh re-install.
