why the Python can be ran by alert, but can not ran manually

[michael_wong]

I have a script that can be ran with alert, but if I run the script manually, the following error will showed. Any idea how I can run it manually?

I have add the python location in first line.

#!/data/splunk/bin/python

[root@hostname scripts]# ./REST_1.py

When running your scripts manually, be sure to do so in the Splunk environment.

splunk cmd python REST_1.py
