How do I run a Python program in the Command Prompt in Windows 7?
(24 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I want to do is create a new python script so that I can start coding in python.
I am new to using windows command prompt. How can I access and create a new python script using the command prompt window? I have tried using cd (location of already made script). I have also just used data\scripts which is where the rest of the python scripts are located.
I have also attached a screenshot of what I attempted.
To access this in the CMD, you just need to type:-
cd data\scripts
Then you will be in your directory.
If you just want shell access, type:-
python
in the interface.

If you already installed python on Windows, you need to add Python command in the PATH variable.
The complete path of python.exe can be added by:
Right-click This PC and go to Properties
Click on the Advanced system settings in the menu on the left.
Click on the Environment Variables button on the bottom right.
In the System variables section, select the Path variable and click on Edit.
The next screen will show all the directories that are currently a part of the PATH variable. Click on New and enter Python’s install directory. Now you can use python directly from the command prompt without having to write its full path location.
Try executing the command py --version; it will output the version of Python installed on your system.

On linux in a terminal:
crontab -e
then add the following to the file:
#reboot /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/your/python/script.py
Yes, If your OS is linux then you can try supervisor. Otherwise you can just directly create a service in linux for your python file which you wants to run and then enable it for auto start when system boots up.
This solution is specially for linux system
Place the script into /etc/rc.local Scripts there run as root when the system starts
Add your script as python /path/to/script.py &
so add python /path/to/script.py & to /etc/rc.local

How to keep a Python script output window open?
(27 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In my Python script, I create a .bat file (many actually), and I run them via
os.startfile(blah)
Everything works like expected, however, those terminals die after finishing. I want to keep them open, so that I can type more commands manually in those opened terminals.
How?
You could try using the cmd command to run the batch file, and then use command line arguments for cmd to modify its behavior. For example:
os.startfile("cmd.exe /k blah.bat")
Documentation of the available command line arguments can be found here:

How to make python scripts executable on Windows? [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm reading from a "bookazine" which I purchased from WHSmiths today and its said
during the setup I need to type in these commands into the terminal (or the Command Prompt in my case) in order to make a script without needing to do it manually. One of these commands is chmod +x (file name) but because this is based of Linux or Mac and I am on Windows I am not sure how to make my script executable, how do I?
Thanks in advance.
In the Python documentation there is a small excerpt on this.
On Windows, the standard Python installer already associates the .py extension with a file type (Python.File) and gives that file type an open command that runs the interpreter (D:\Program Files\Python\python.exe "%1" %*). This is enough to make scripts executable from the command prompt as ‘foo.py’. If you’d rather be able to execute the script by simple typing ‘foo’ with no extension you need to add .py to the PATHEXT environment variable.
https://docs.python.org/2/faq/windows.html
Aside from that, like cricket_007 said, you can execute your scripts as
C:\User\YourName> python yourscript.py
You don't have shell scripts on Windows, you have batch or powershell.
If your reading is teaching Unix things, get a virtual machine running (insert popular Linux distribution here).
Regarding python, you just execute python script.py

Pydoc is not working (Windows XP)
(8 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
I'm working through this "Learn python the Hard Way" book and the book is now saying to run
'pydoc open'
I do this and get the response that pydoc is not an internal or external command etc.
I've trying adding 'C:\Python27\lib\pydoc.py' to PATH and restarting my computer but it still hasn't worked.
Python is probably not in your path. you must add it in your path either by using the GUI or something like this:
set PATH = PATH;/path/to/pydoc/
This is a windows example, but it should not be hard to convert to a *nix version. The export command can be used in that case.
