Yes, you are expected to submit an executable file named
mcBash.  The first line of that file should be

  #!/usr/bin/python

(or something equivalent); and the remaining lines should
contain your Python code.  You can use the chmod command
to make your mcBash executable:

  % chmod +x mcBash

The rules for Perl and Ruby are similar.
