If I'm in the Python IDLE editor and the shell is not open, is there some way to open the shell without running a program? I expect it's something simple that I just can't find.
Thanks
For Python 3.8 its just Run -> Python Shell if I am understanding your question correctly
For windows:
Win+R to open run window
cmd to open, well, the command line
python to run python. Make sure you've added the python.exe file to PATH

Recently I am playing around with Rich. It's really helpful while debugging and tracking code running progress. However, if I use task scheduler to auto-run python script, it will open command prompt to run the script instead of others like Window PowerShell. All the output from Rich will not show in command prompt. Is there anyway to set python.exe run by other instead of command prompt?
My batch file looks like this:
"C:\Python39\python.exe" "C:\PATH\TO\PyScript.py"
Yes, there is a way to do this.
Just use this command:
powershell.exe "C:\Python39\python.exe C:\PATH\TO\PyScript.py"
How do we run a Python script in Atom editor? Please see screenshot below with errors:
Below I was testing if i can run python in Atom editor. I have also ran the (c:\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate base)command in Anaconda prompt
In your Atom built-in terminal, you are first typing in "python" without any file arguments, and such bringing you into the Python Interactive Prompt, include the name of your file (num.py).
The SyntaxError you're getting is because your trying to run "python num.py" as code instead of a CMD command.
In addition to #HarryKearney answer, there are a number of packages that will easily run scripts. For example, run-in-terminal allows you to press F5 to open a terminal or command prompt window running the python script. Some other options to do similar things are: atom-python-run, atom-runner, script to run code directly in atom and several others you can find in the package repository. Choosing one of these and installing it will probably make it a lot easy if you will be running python scripts frequently.
I would like to run a script like in the picture in the Powershell but from python. [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/K7XGI.png For instance, I would like to have a code like this:
def run(namefile):
command that opens powershell
command that type in the powershell .\spim.exe .\namefile.txt
command that run the script
Does someone know how to do this ?
If you just want to run the exe file you can use subprocess module.
If you really want to run it inside the Powershell terminal you can run the Powershell binary with -Command option.
I want to open a python file in cmder terminal quickly. Currently, the fastest way i know how is to navigate to the directory of the python file in cmder terminal and then run it by calling "python file.py". This is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way for me to have a file or exe, that, when i run it (or drag the program onto it), automatically makes the program run in cmder straight away.
Windows 10
Clarification: I'm using cmder terminal specifically because it supports text coloring. Windows terminal and powershell do not support this.
On windows you can go to the directory with the file in the explorer and then simply hold shift as you right click at the same time. This will open the menu and there you will have the option to use the command shell/powershell and then you don't have to navigate to the directory inside the shell anymore and can just execute the python file.
I hope that helps.
Answer: The escape codes just weren't properly configured for the windows terminals. You can get around this by using colorama's colorama.init(). It should work after that.
So i'm trying to set up my vscode to run python, it works but the issue is I set it up in a way that when I type ./helloworld.py in the integrated terminal, it opens up pycharm and I don't want that. I want it to open up python shell or output "hello world" in the integrated terminal. how can I fix this problem or how do I change my compiler in vscode?
The best way to run your file is to open your files in the editor window and then move your cursor to the editor window and right click. You get a pane that looks like so.
There is an option to run python file in terminal. Select this. The file will excute in the integrated terminal.
You can try:
python3 ./helloworld.py
This tells your os to use the python3 program to run the file instead of using pycharms.
You can use the python command instead for python 2
