How to make Windows execute my Python script files when I click them

I have made a Python program that uses output.to_csv('results.csv'). When I run it in Spyder it creates that CSV file. But when I double click on it nothing happens. Cmd appears and closes but nothing on the folder, no results.csv.
What am I missing? What more do I have to do?

Run the program from the command line itself instead of double-clicking the .py file.
I assume you are on Windows since you mention CMD. First, cd into the directory containing your program. Then, run python <program>.py or python3 <program>.py depending on your installation.
This time, you will see any output or error messages that appear in CMD without it immediately closing.

If the .csv file really exists, you should be able to go to your File Explorer and find the file at the top of the "Quick Access" section. Right-click the file and hover over "Open With >". Then select Notepad and a notepad will open up showing your results.
If you do not see the file, then try running your program on the command prompt (for Windows):
Press the windows key and type "cmd" in the search bar.
Choose "Command Prompt"
Go to the dir of your program using the cd command
Type python <program name>.py
If there are no errors, follow the steps in the first paragraph.

Ok i guess windows is not recommended at all for this type of tasks. I mean running something simple as create such file is like trying to kill the Lernaean Hydra.
What i did is i just runned it with anaconda prompt and it worked sweet! Thanks for help. Thanks to all!
PS: I'm seriously considering changing to Linux after this
For anyone having the same problem, but have anaconda installed. 1) Open Anaconda Prompt, 2) use cd (1 space) then adress of the folder which contains your py program (eg. cd C:\Users\Bernie\Desktop\tasos) and hit enter, 3) on the next line that appears type: python program_name.py, 4)Hit enter, 5)success!

Run Python in VSCode in python shell like IDLE

I am well aware of the thread How to execute Python code from within Visual Studio Code
But none of them shows how to get the >>> python shell running with the file imported. Cuz I would like to call functions separately.
I understand that I can get the python shell going by simply typling python in the terminal but the functions in the python file have to manually imported everytime.
Is there a way to run files in VSCode like in IDLE?

you can run the file in an interactive mode in VSC code terminal by using the parameter -i :
python -i py_file.py

Install the Python Extension, then press Ctrl+Shift+P (Command+Shift+P) and type Python: Start REPL. Click the command, and you'll get an interactive Python console.

Assuming you have the official Python extension installed, you can search the command list (Ctrl+Shift+P) for "Python interactive" and you'll see several options that allow to do different variations of this:

Not sure if this was figured out or not, but I was having a similar question. How to simply use something like IDLE (the known '>>>' shell prompt) inside VSCodesee w/o chasing down plugins and their settings? I noticed that no answer was marked confirmed and although insightful, not what I was looking for.
I use Mac and while trying different things to address this, I found that by using/copying the path in the Python Launcher settings I got what I was looking for. Then, I validated the equivalent for Windows. Please see below.
Windows:
If you are using Windows, from your Terminal pane/window in VSCode, enter the path to your python.exe, including the executable name. It is located within the "User > AppData" directory.
For example: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_ID\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe
Note that AppData is a hidden folder, so may have to change your view settings in Explorer to show Hidden Items.
MAC:
If you are using MAC, from your Terminal pane/window in VSCode, enter the path to your interpreter
For example: /usr/local/bin/python3
Note: You can also do this directly from a CMD, PowerShell or a Terminal(Mac) window without having to launch IDLE, VSCode or any other coding/scripting app.

To build on the answer already provided, you can automatically run in interactive mode by changing your settings:
Go under File>Preferences>Settings. Search for "arguments" in the search bar. Then under "Python › Terminal: Launch Args", click on the link "Edit in settings.json".
Once settings.json is open, add "-i" with the quotation marks. It should look something like that:
{
"workbench.colorTheme": "Default High Contrast",
"terminal.integrated.localEchoEnabled": "off",
"terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled": false,
"python.terminal.launchArgs": [
"-i"
]
}
Now, it will pass the argument -i every time you run.

How do i run python file in cmd from vscode

I have a python program which prints long outputs. When i try to run that file in vscode, its interactive window isn't enough to view full output. So is there any way to run python file in cmd from VSCODE?

If you are running windows, VSCode uses Powershell as your terminal by default. If you want to use the command prompt instead, hit ctrl+shift+p, type Shell into the command pallet, select Terminal: Select Default Shell, and change it to Command Prompt. I am not sure this will fix your problem as I think Powershell should display just as much output as the CMD, but if you want to try switching terminals, that will do it. Another option is to try to run it natively in CMD or Powershell, rather than using the VSCode integrated terminal. That might be better if changing terminals doesn't help.

As #Jeremiah said, you can also just run your script with the Cmd prompt, without using vs code. Let's say you have the file 'test1.py' saved as C:\Users\bcubrich\Documents\test1.py, and your python env .exe is saved in C:\python27\ArcGIS10.5\python.exe. I just wrote script that had this in it:
print('worked')
Then just input this into the Cmd prompt
C:\python27\ArcGIS10.5\python.exe C:\Users\bcubrich\Documents\test1.py
And it printed
worked
to the console.

Python 101 : Komodo edit - code not running in command

I have just opened up Komodo edit and can't run any code.
I just get this message in the command output:
/usr/bin/python: can't open file 'Python3-1.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
What do I do? I installed python3 again. Do I need to install it in the right place?

I think it say for you - I can't find your file.
You should try to check path to you file.
Then you should try to run your code from terminal. Open terminal app (gnome-terminal, konsole, xfce-terminal or etc. what you always using for this) and try run directly you file in you folder like this:
python Python3-1.py or python3 Python3-1.py or python3 -m Python3-1.py.
If all works fine - check you Komodo settings.Edit -> Preferences in Language block check in Python Default Python Interpreter
If not help you -please update you question for more information.
P.S. and you should try VS Code for python development. It have awesome integrated terminal and you can learing run all programs on command line, like you will do it in real life. Komodo Edit good editor, but not the best for this.

Running Python from the Windows Command Line

How do I run a Python file from the Windows Command Line (cmd.exe) so that I won't have to re-enter the code each time?

Wouldn't you simply save your Python code into a file, and then execute that file using Python?
Save your code into a file called Test.py.
And then run it?
$ C:\Python24\Python.exe C:\Temp\Test.py

If you don't want to install an IDE, you can also use IDLE which includes a Python editor and a console to test things out, this is part of the standard installation.
If you installed the python.org version, you will see an IDLE (Python GUI) in your start menu. I would recommend adding it to your Quick Launch or your desktop - whatever you are most familiar with. Then right-click on the shortcut you have created and change the "Start in" directory to your project directory or a place you can mess with, not the installation directory which is the default place and probably a bad idea.
When you double-click the shortcut it will launch IDLE, a console in which you can type in Python command and have history, completion, colours and so on. You can also start an editor to create a program file (like mentioned in the other posts). There is even a debugger.
If you saved your application in "test.py", you can start it from the editor itself. Or from the console with execfile("test.py"), import test (if that is a module), or finally from the debugger.

If you put the Python executable (python.exe) on your path, you can invoke your script using python script.py where script.py is the Python file that you want to execute.

Open a command prompt, by pressing Win+R and writing cmd in that , navigate to the script directory , and write : python script.py

A good tool to have is the IPython shell. Not only can it run your program (%run command), but it offers also many tools for using Python interactively in an efficient manner (automatic completion, syntax coloring, quick access to the documentation, good interaction with Matplotlib,…). After you install it, you'll have access to its shell in the Start menu.

You need to create environment variables. Follow the instructions here: http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/command_line.shtml#environment-variables

In DOS you can use edit to create/modify text files, then execute them by typing python [yourfile]
