in Win10/Python 3.13 my program runs as well as can be expected. However, on
my new computer Win11/Python 3.14.1 there is a peculiarity.
On the new machine, when I click on the file name, it immediately dumps out.
I go in with IDLE and it runs fine with no indication of any error.
I believe this line is the culprit:
Starter = open("HLYlog.txt", "w")
Thoughts appreciated.
When you write "when I click on the file name", do you mean you find the
Python file in Windows Explorer and then doubleclick on it? Can you
start it in a console by typing (without the angle brackets, of course)
py <full path to file>
I suspect that what is happening is that a new console window opens, the
program runs, and then the new console terminates and vanishes
immediately. That's what happens on My Windows 11 system.
With the pre-Windows 11 file association system it was fairly easy to
deal with this since it was easy to find a modify the launch command
that Windows would use. On Windows 11 the way programs are associated
to files has changed and it seems to be much harder to change things.
You wouldn't realize the change when (double)clicking on a program's
name in Explorer for GUI programs that don't finish. It's only when you
try to run a command-line program that terminates that the difference
shows up.
In Windows 11, you can change file associations in Settings/default
apps. You could write a batch file that launches the file on the command
line with Python, then stays around after the program ends. Then make
that batch file the default app for .py files.
