Every time I try to run a script with pythonw instead of python, it'll show up in the task manager for a split second and then crash.
I am currently working on a discord bot and have the bot message the server every time the script successfully runs, and the bot never says anything but it does when I use normal python to open it
For others who arrive here because they have the same "pythonw shows up in Task Manager briefly and then crashes" problem, it's worth noting that this will happen if you try to execute invalid Python code with pythonw.exe. No errors are displayed, but errors are displayed if you try to run invalid Python code with python.exe, as shown in this screenshot:
A Discord bot isn't something suitable to run with pythonw. All of the context is in the terminal. I used heroku to host my discord bot. I also used this video to help with the setup.

No, I'm not talking about runserver listening for requests.
Whenever i run makemigrations, migrate or scripts i wrote using django-extensions command runscript, I need to stop the execution of the program before typing in another. This was not the case before restarting my PC this morning.
I'm building a small QR code ticketing app and it was working up until this morning. I fixed a bug regarding opencv since and the app is functional again, but this command line issue is bothering me. I'm going to have to make the /admin and scripts available to a few of my colleagues tomorrow and i'm afraid we won't know when the script running is actually done since it doesn't prompt or allow another command. Having a script executed terminated early because of this would be catastrophic.
whenever i run a command, the blank line not accepting input appears
There's way too much possible reasons why this could've happened; and it's impossible for anyone else to reproduce your scenario just based on what you described. This isn't a widespread issue, so it must something particular to do with your setup.
Run a debugger, like pudb or pdb to find out where the script is stuck on.
Or add a try-except block to catch KeyboardInterrupt to your manage.py and use traceback library to narrow down where it's stuck.
I have been hosting a discord bot on my raspberry pi for half a year now, but after the new discord update my bot seems to go offline within two hours of closing out my PuTTy shell and vnc viewer which I use to access my raspberry pi. After testing different things when I try and restart the bot via vnc I get a Temporary Failure in name resolution which I learned only goes away if I rewrite my token in the script using PuTTY however this put me in a loop because 2 hours after closing out of the PuTTy shell the bot goes offline again and I have to repeat the process. I am still relatively new to all of this and would really like any kind of help.
edit: I just found out that I don't even need a new token to get rid of the error all I need to do is run it in PuTTy and close it immedietly when I do the same thing through the vnc viewer nothing happens and the error persists.
I have been attempting to run my python script as a service, and have followed the advice contained in several previous forum posts. However, these have not helped me thus far. Here is what I have attempted up until now:
Used an SMWinservice class that allowed me to install my Python script as a service. This solution, however, would not launch. If I would try to start it, I would receive an error message.
I have tried using NSSM with : nssm install myService pathToInterpreter PathToScript. Note, all files etc. can be found in the local directory of the PathToScript. For what its worth, I also tried using the GUI version of NSSM. When I rebooted my computer, it showed as "Paused" in task manager. I stopped it, and then tried to run it again, and I received an error. I have tried NSSM with both python.exe and pythonw.exe.
I suspect that a possible source of error is the fact that my program uses a text file as a configuration file. This configuration file has been coded as being in my local working directory. However, I wouldn't think this would be an issue with NSSM. I know for a fact that my program will completely exit, using the exit command, if the configuration file is not found.
I was thinking of doing a batch file and starting the batch file with the script and running it like that, but I prefer a service since it can monitor the process, can restart it, or windows can notify me via email if there is an issue with my service.
For completeness, I should also mention that the program runs without issue outside of a service. For the reason that the program runs as expected, I decided to not post the code, unless someone would like to see it for whatever reason.
I am trying to create a web application using flask. I have already gotten somewhat comfortable with using python, and have done so using spyder, inside of Anacanda Navigator. Now I am playing around with flask doing basic functions and have successful so far by testing it out in local server 127.0.0.1:5000. The problem I am having is that I cannot stop the server once I run the script in spyder. I have stopped the script and run other scripts through the console, but the local server remains the same.
The reason this is a problem for me is because when I try to change files and run a different flask script, the server does not update with the new information. For example, if I run a flask script that returns "Hello World" on the main page, and then I stop that file, open a new file that has a different flask script that returns "The sky is blue" the server does not change when I check it on chrome or any other browser. It will onyl return "Hello World"
I have been able to fix this problem by completely restarting my computer, but I am wondering if there is another way, just to restart the local server, 127.0.0.1:5000. Thank You!
Also I am using windows
I do : "Run > Configuration per file > Execute in an external system terminal",
then when you run your .py containing the app.run, it will be launched in an external console. If you close the console the server will be closed too.
To Kill the local server, you may use Ctrl+C command and not any other command. This command is also mentioned when the server is up and running.
I've been having this precise issue and have been smashing my head against the wall for a couple of hours. I posted the referenced StackOverflow question (my first actually) and it seems that running a script from inside Spyder is the wrong way to go as it leaves runaway background processes running, even after restarting Spyder.
I got the recommendation to only launch my *.py code from the command prompt. Furthermore I was told to do this:
set FLASK_APP=main1.py then set FLASK_DEBUG=1 then flask run
though I'm not sure what that does, so I will investigate. I was about to restart my computer as a last ditch effort until I looked in my Windows Task Manager and found some Python tasks running. After [end task] them both I was able to launch the updated webpage on my local host.
I have looked into using pxssh ,subprocess and paramiko but have found no success. What I am ultimately trying to do is figure out a way to not only use SSH to access a server and execute commands using a python script and finish there, but also have it open an instance of the terminal after executing all the commands for continued use.
Currently the server has modules that clients have to manually activate using commands after they have established an SSH connection.
For example:
module python
This command would give the user access to python.
Following this the user would then be able to use python and all its commands through the ssh connection in the terminal.
The issue I have with the methods listed earlier for executing these commands is that it does not display an instance of the terminal. It successfully executes the commands but since these commands have to be executed every time a new SSH connection is established it's worthless unless I can get essentially a copy of the terminal that the Python script executed and loaded up all the modules with.
Does any one have a solution to this? I've scoured the web for hours to no success.
This is a very difficult issue to explain so if anything is unclear please ask me and I will try my best to rephrase things. I am very new to all this.
