I'm trying to run a python program in the online IDE SourceLair. I've written a line of code that simply prints hello, but I am embarrassed to say I can't figure out how to RUN the program.
I have the console, web server, and terminal available on the IDE already pulled up. I just don't know how to start the program. I've tried it on Mac OSX and Chrome OS, and neither work.
I don't know if anyone has experience with this IDE, but I can hope. Thanks!!
Can I ask you why you are using SourceLair?
Well I just figured it out in about 2 mins....its the same as using any other editor for python.
All you have to do is to run it in the terminal. python (nameoffile).py
Antonis from SourceLair here.
In SourceLair, you get a fully featured terminal, plus a web server for running your Python applications.
For simple files, as you correctly found out, all you have to do is save the file and run it through your terminal, using python <your-file.py>.
If you want to run a complete web server, you can check out our server configuration guide here: https://help.sourcelair.com/webserver/configure-your-web-server/
Happy hacking!

I'm using VS Code for a Python project using a virtualenv. I switched my deafult terminal from powershell to cmd as VS Code was not happy executing powershell scripts.
Now when I open a terminal in my project it opens cmd (as desired), but automatically tries tor run .../Scripts/Activate.ps1, which it doesn't like. I want it to run .../Scripts/Activate.bat as we are in cmd. Runnning it manually for now, but would be nice if I didn't have to.
No doubt there is a setting somewhere to change this, but I cannot find it. Any ideas?
This is a problem related to the Python extension, it should be fixed in the last update.
You can get some information from here.
I started learning Python this week, and I am trying to automate adding a new user to both active directory, and on Office 365.
I have managed to add the user to AD using a client and a bot, and also use another script to generate the correct New-MsolUser syntax for Powershell.
How do I get Python to open Powershell and run the output of "o365command"?
Also will I need to connect to the tenant every time I do this so will I need to incorporate this into the script as well?
Happy to show the code I have if needed.
If you provide the output from Python as JSON to a file, then PowerShell can import that directly. See ConvertFrom-Json (ConvertFrom-Json).
As for running PowerShell from Python, look at: Running an outside program (executable) in Python?
It's not something I've ever tried but good luck.
I’m kind of new to programming so sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. I would like to know whether or not I can run a script 24/7 in the thonny ide. The script basically just collects data from a website and prints it.
Thonny is just an IDE, you dont need it for "production" runs. You should make it executable then run it with nohup. Check out this post for more details!

So I just created a simple script with selenium that automates the login for my University's portal. The first reaction I got from a friend was: ah nice, you can put that on my pc as well. That would be rather hard as he'd have to install python and run it through an IDE or through his terminal or something like that and the user friendliness wouldn't be optimal.
Is there a way that I could like wrap it in a nicer user interface, maybe create an app or something so that I could just share that program? All they'd have to do is then fill in their login details once and the program then logs them in every time they want. I have no clue what the possibilities for that are, therefore I'm asking this question.
And more in general, how do I get to use my python code outside of my IDE? Thusfar, I've created some small projects and ran them in PyCharm and that's it. Once again, I have no clue what the possibilities are so I also don't really know what I'm asking. If anyone gets what I mean by using my code further than only in my IDE, I'd love to hear your suggestions!
The IDE running you program is the same as you running your program in the console. But if you dont want them to have python installed (and they have windows) you can maybe convert them to exe with py2exe. But if they have linux, they probably have python installed and can run you program with "python script.py". But tell your friends to install python, if they program or not, it will always come in handy
I have a rather small Pygame based python script and I just bought a Mac so I'm trying to run my script on here. Everything has been installed correctly (Checking by typing 'import Pygame') into python terminal as-well as running a basic hello world program. However, when I try running this script, IDLE gets brought to the front but nothing happens from there. (The script is supposed to pop-up a new window). Is this a problem with my installations or my code? (Code works on windows setup).
You could try to run the script again on a windows computer to see if you forgot to save some changes or if the file got corrupted somehow. You could also use bootcamp to install Windows on your mac since you could have one windows version on your mac for coding purposes and the regular mac OS for other stuff if you like.
you can execute it by left clicking in your script and select open with python launcher
