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 do I run a Python program in the Command Prompt in Windows 7?

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.

Is there a way to run a python script by clicking on an icon on e.g. the desktop? [duplicate]

I have a GUI python script that runs perfectly well when I run it in the terminal, however I would like to remove the need to use terminal and just be able to click on an icon (like an application) to have the script run and open the GUI. Is there any way to do this? (detail appreciated) Thanks!
Yes, its pretty doable.
you can use NSIS to make an executable for windows
Yes, I found Pyinstaller to be the easiest to use. From terminal just do 'pip install pyinstaller'. Then once it's downloaded cd to the directory that contains the file. From there just run 'pyinstaller file-name' and it will create it for you :)
2 ways to do that:
-Save as filename.pyw
-use pyinstaller to build a filename.exe file with the --noconsole option

Automatically run graphical python script on startup in ubuntu

I have a python script that starts a fullscreen animation when run - how do i set this to start at startup in ubuntu 16.04? Other answers to the "script on startup" problem don't work - because I'm assuming they're executed before the desktop environment has a chance to start up...
I have a script called "startup.sh" that reads as:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 -s 1280x1024
source activate demo
cd ~/demo/
python run.py
Where the first line sets the correct resolution - the second line activates an anaconda environment, the third line changes directory (parts of the script need it to be in that directory, and the 4th line finally runs the script that launches a fullscreen graphic (using pygame, if it matters.)
How can i set this to auto run after unity finishes setting up? Thanks so much... any help or comments at all are really appreciated...
EDIT: it looks like someone here had a similar problem: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=128602
They wanted to start a pygame script on startup - and were able to do so after their desktop environment loaded by putting a call to their program in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart - I'm not using LXDE - i'm on unity, so is there an equivalent?
Easiest way to run things at startup is to add them to the file /etc/rc.local.
But to do this properly, you should use the update-rc.d command. You may try it like this:
update-rc.d /path_to_script/script_name.sh start 2
Or use update-rc.d /path_to_script/script_name.sh defaults to create both startup and kill scripts all at once.

shell script: compile and execute a python via shell script [duplicate]

Shell Script: Execute a python program from within a shell script

I know how to program a python, but I have no idea about Unix, so how can I create two .sh files to compile and execute my python program. For example, my program named hello.py and I have two files named compile.sh and execute.sh, I want to invoke compile.sh then hello.py will be compiled, and invoke execute.sh then hello.py will be executed. Thanks!
Instead of writing Shell scripts (the .sh files) you can just open a terminal and do stuff from there, see http://www.dummies.com/computers/macs/mac-operating-systems/how-to-use-basic-unix-commands-to-work-in-terminal-on-your-mac/ - whatever you do there is executed live as if it was a Shell script.
By opening a terminal and simply typing
python my_script.py
you trigger python to first compile the code to *.pyc files and then execute it. No special steps are needed! Whatever you type in the terminal, you can also save it as a shell script and run it at a later point. Shell scripting is taught at many websites like https://www.shellscript.sh/ and others, google is your friend.

How to make python scripts executable on Windows? [duplicate]

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
