I suppose there are people in the world who don't know what to do with a
command prompt....

Assuming a Windows system:

2. Type 'cd ' (as in Change Directory) in the command prompt window (w/o
the single quote characters)
3. Drag/drop the folder containing your python script to your command
prompt window
4. Hit enter in your command prompt window.
5. Type python my_script_name.py to execute my_script_name.py.

If I enter just cd, then it tells me cd is not defined. If I enter c:/python25, it tells me I have a syntax error at c in c:. The title of the black background window I have up with a >>> prompt shown in it is "Python(command line)". Maybe this isn't the real Python console window?

What I want is that if I execute the program by double clicking on its name to display the console window with the program or syntax errors shown without it closing in a split second. Putting read_raw in it doesn't work, since some error prevents it from ever being seen.


you need to open a dos prompt before doing the steps above. Go to start->run and hit "cmd" <enter> without the quotes.
