First, check your $PATH:
$ echo $PATH
This is should contain .:/usr/bin:/bin

Then in your script the first line should be
#!/bin/bash
for a bash script and
#!/usr/bin/python
for a python script.

Of-course, check whether those executables /bin/bash and /usr/bin/python
exists!

It has nothing to do with in what partition your executable is as long
as you have permissions to execute it!
