Mostly on Windows you can run scripts from Windows explorer but for simple scripts (like hello world) the window appears and then dissappears too quickly to see it. You can most easily get around that by putting one of: raw_input(Hit Enter to quit) # for Python v2 input(Hit Enter to quit) # for Python v3 as the last line in your script. You might find that technique easier than using the CMD window. But the CMD window is better when things go wrong - it lets you see any error messages,... -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Python Trouble, Please Help!
Hello, I am currently working with the Python programming language and had a very basic question regarding the start up of Python. For some reason, when I open up the Command Prompt in my Windows 7 computer, I am unable to access python files. So when I type in the python command, I am able to start writing in python, but I cannot call other python files such as saying python helloworld.py. I think it might have something to do with where I am placing my files and the path of python? Not too sure though because of my lack of computer knowledge. When I do put in python helloworld.py into the command prompt line, the computer gives me a response of: python: can't open file 'hello.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory. I know for a fact that there does exist a file called hello.py though. Please help me if you can!
