Is there a way to make python an executable file on a mac, windows, or unix?
Nothing fancy in a GUI, but open a terminal window or a console window and run like somebody executed the application through terminal.
If there's no easy way to do this, can someone direct me to any reading material? Thank you!

You can use PyInstaller (http://www.pyinstaller.org/), there is also py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org/).
My experiences with PyInstaller on Linux show that it tends to place a lot of shared libs which may sometimes clash with your distribution so it's sometimes necessary to trim it down a bit afterwards.

When using Python IDLE I find the Python shell, with the >>> prompt very useful for testing syntax. Is there a way of getting a Python shell integrated in VS Code?
Maybe the answer is just to open Python IDLE in another window.
Apparently this is a duplicate of another question, but I did several searches on the words Python shell and didn't find anything that seemed relevant. Sorry.
Many thanks to Jaxi for the answer that you need to type Python in the Terminal Window.
stated here you can use ctrl+backtick to open a terminal window, then from there just type python and it will give you the python shell:

Problems running Python in Notepad++ [duplicate]

How do you run a python script from within notepad++? [duplicate]

I'm having trouble executing my programs in Notepad++. I'm currently operating on Windows 7.
When attempting to run the program in the the interpreter, I have to jump through numerous hoops to actually get my program to execute. In Notepad++, I'm unable to provide additional text if I'd like to run a sys.argv command, or need to write in a name for a function.
Are there any solutions? Any easier way to run my code?
Run your code from command interpreter.It will look like this
C:\Python27\python.exe programe_name.py
change directory where your program is save before the command.I recommend you to download IDLE editor.It is easy way to learn python.
What I have been doing is this:
Press F5 to run.
Paste this | C:\Python27\python.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Replace Python27 with whatever version you use.
Then run.
It should take what you're writing and run it, make sure to select Python as the current language too.
Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for, I'm just starting too!
There are better editors which can run python without a problem. Github's atom can do this easily and is a great free solution and Sublime Text 2 is also both free and paid.
However, if you absolutely have to run on NotePad++, do click Run on the Menu and then Run again. Now, type in the shell command you would like to run (Path-to-python.exe + Path-To-File) and click run

Hiding console window of Python GUI app with py2exe
(4 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I compiled a Python GUI program using py2exe, and it works, but when I run it the command prompt appears in addition to my program window. I have read that I should change the python.exe file to the pythonw.exe file, but there isn't even a Python.exe file in the dist folder to begin with. Compiling a .pyw version of the file also does not fix this. How would I prevent this from happening?

You didn't post any code (which you should do), but I suspect you're using "console" instead of "windows" in setup.py.

How do I watch a file for changes?

Closed 8 years ago.
I would like to monitor the directory using python. Whenever there is a new file the program will notify the user.
Current I am using a loop, which run os.listdir, to poll the directory regularly. However this is very inefficient. Is there any way that I could setup some software trigger (in Python) to enhance the efficiency?
Thanks in advance
See http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/watch_directory_for_changes.html for Windows and http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-fam/ for Linux. Also, you can check out https://github.com/gorakhargosh/watchdog/, which is multi-platform.

Where can I find my .emacs file for Emacs running on Windows?
I am a total newbie to emacs.
I know I can edit a configuration file to change the behavior of my emacs editor and customize it for python editing. but I can't seem to find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm on windows XP. But inside emacs i can open it using:
C-x C-f ~/.emacs
or
C-x C-f ~/.emacs.d/init.el
You then can also see to what ~ autocompletes to locate it.
I think GNU Emacs puts it in the Documents folder '_emacs'. I'm not at a Win 7 box right now to double check.
