A shebang is a rather clever mechanism for telling Linux or any other
kernel to run an interpreter. Roughly speaking, when your shell tells
Linux to execute a file, Linux will look at the first two bytes of
your file. If they're the special shebang bytes, Linux will then look
at the next string looking for an interpreter with which to run your
script. It reads the next string quite literally.

That being said, the problem might be that you leave a space in front
of the shebang or that you haven't given execution permissions to the
function script.

I don't know. I didn't try to understand the function, because I don't
really know what financial information it's expecting. I can tell you
it's a function that takes six parameters as explained in its
docstring. It looks like they're all scalars.

You didn't give the function parameters.
