How can I start my Python code, from the code itself?
I have [already learned](https://software.codidact.com/posts/291322) how to tell the Python interpreter to run my code, but the standard approach feels a little unsatisfactory. I want the user experience to be that my program starts with the actual `.py` file, not with a Python interpreter. It's okay if a Python interpreter needs to be installed on the system already, but how can I make my Python program just run by double-clicking the file, or by typing the filename by itself (without `python` or `py`) at the command line?
