Unknown problem in Python. Printing does not work and files are not saved correctly

When I try to write something, such as variables, the code is renamed to the file name on the computer.
For example, if I write:
a = 20
f = 15
print(a+f)
then the code file will automatically be renamed to the first line, i.e. "a = 20"
Then, when I try to run the code, the program outputs nothing but "Python" and some incomprehensible words.
What could it be related to?

I installed the latest version of Visual Stuio Code with Python, they are new, so there should be no problems. But this time it went wrong.
After reinstalling the program, the problem remains.

First of all, if there is no special requirement, please do not use Code Runner to run the script, using the official extension Python is a better choice.
In addition, the dot on your file label means that you have not saved the file, you can add the following setting to enable automatic saving in the settings.
"files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
You may have created the file using the following method. File --> New File... --> Python File. At this time, the file has not been named, also not saved. You can see that there is no such file in the resource manager list at this time.
So the file label shows the first line of codes. This is a feature of vscode, you can refer to this link. And because the file has not been saved, there will be problems executing the script.
You can rename the script file directly (F2), or vscode will remind you to name the file when saving. Another way to create a file is to right click and choose New File..., enter filename and end with .py extension.

Convert multiple multipage PDFs to JPGs in subfolders

Simple use case:
A folder with many (mostly multipage) PDF files.
A script should convert each PDF page to JPG and store it in a subfolder named after the PDF filename. (e.g. #33.pdf to folder #33)
Single JPG files should also have this filename plus a counter mirroring the sequential page number in the PDF. (e.g. #33_001.jpg)
I found a bounch of related questions, but nothing that quite does what I want, e.g.
How do I convert multiple PDFs into images from the same folder in Python?
A python script would work fine, but also any other way to do this in Win10 (imagemagick, e.g.) is cool with me.

Your comment requests how a batch can do as required, for simplicity the following only processes a single file so Python will need to loop through a folder and call with each name in turn. That could be done by adding a "for loop" in batch but first see where problems arise, as many of my single test files threw differing errors.
I have tried to cover several fails in this batch file, in my system, but there can still be issues such as a file that has no valid fonts to display
For most recent poppler windows 64bit utils see https://github.com/oschwartz10612/poppler-windows/releases/ for 32 bit use xpdf latest version http://www.xpdfreader.com/download.html but that has direct pdftopng.exe so needs a few edits.
pdf2dir.bat
#echo off
set "bin=C:\Apps\PDF\poppler\22.11.0\Library\bin"
set "res=200"
REM for type use one of 3 i.e. png jpeg jpegcmyk (PNG is best for documents)
set "type=png"
if exist "%~dpn1\*.%type%" echo: &echo Files already exist in "%~dpn1" skipping overwrite&goto pause
if not exist "%~dpn1.pdf" echo: &echo "%~dpn0" File "%~dpn1.pdf" not found&goto pause
if not exist "%~dpn1\*.*" md "%~dpn1"
REM following line deliberately opens folder to show progress delete it or prefix with REM for blind running
explorer "%~dpn1"
"%bin%\pdftoppm.exe" -%type% -r %res% "%~dpn1.pdf" "%~dpn1\%~n1"
if %errorlevel%==1 echo: &echo Build of %type% files failed&goto pause
if not exist "%~dpn1\*.%type%" echo: &echo Build of %type% files failed&goto pause
:pause
echo:
pause
:end
It requires Poppler binaries path to pdftoppm be correctly set in the second line
It can be placed wherever desired i.e. work folder or desktop
It allows for drag and drop of one pdf on top will (should work) without need to run in console
Can be run in a command console and place a space character after, you can drag and drop a single filename but any spaces in name must be "double quoted"
can be run from any shell or OS command as "path to/batchfile.bat" "c:\path to\file.pdf"

Can a Python Executable create files?

I converted my Python code into an executable using pyinstaller but part of my project involves printing the result onto a text document, stored on the computer. However this same code doesn't work once in the executable. I separately also tried to get it to just create files using the
with open(f'{random.random()}.txt', 'x') as sys.stdout:
print(encmsg)
option and using a random num generator to create new file names so it doesn't overlap. Still didn't create anything.
In Summary,
What code, when running through an executable file, will download the string it produces onto a text file onto the computer SOMEWHERE.
Thank you.
The relevant code is:
string = '1219151'
with open(f'{random.random()}.txt', 'x') as sys.stdout:
print(string)
That is it. It's in an executable, but doesn't produce the txt file anywhere.
I am on Windows 10.

Python for Data Analysis, Chapter 2, first example

I'm following along with the examples in a translated version of Wes McKinney's "Python for Data Analysis" and I was blocked in first example of Chapter 2
I think my problem arose because I saved a data file in a wrong path. is that right?
I stored a file, usagov_bitly_data2012-03-16-1331923249.txt, in C:\Users\HRR
and also stored folder, pydata-book-mater, that can be downloaded from http://github.com/pydata-book in C:\Users\HRR\Anaconda2\Library\bin.

Depends.
You might change the location you save your File or eddit the path you give to your code in Line 10. Since you're yousing relativ Paths i guess your script runs in C:\Users\HRR\Anaconda2\Library\bin, which means you have to go back to C:\Users\HRR or use an absolute Path ... or move the File, but hell you don't want to move a file every time you want to open it, like moving word files into msoffice file to open it, so try to change the Path.
And allways try harder ;)

In python open() will open from the current directory down unless given a full path (in linux that starts with / and windows <C>://). In your case the command is open the folder ch02 in the directory the script is running from and then open usagov_bitly_data2012-03-16-1331923249.txt in that folder.
Since you are storing the text file in C:\Users\HRR\usagov_bitly_data2012-03-16-1331923249.txt and you did not specify the directory of the script. I recommend the following command instead open(C:\\Users\\HRR\\usagov_bitly_data2012-03-16-1331923249.txt)
Note: the double \ is to escape the characters and avoid tabs and newlines showing up in the path.

Why doesn't my bash script read lines from a file when called from a python script?

I am trying to write a small program in bash and part of it needs to be able to get some values from a txt file where the different files are separated by a line, and then either add each line to a variable or add each line to one array.
So far I have tried this:
FILE=$"transfer_config.csv"
while read line
do
MYARRAY[$index]="$line"
index=$(($index+1))
done < $FILE
echo ${MYARRAY[0]}
This just produces a blank line though, and not what was on the first line of the config file.
I am not returned with any errors which is why I am not too sure why this is happening.
The bash script is called though a python script using os.system("$HOME/bin/mcserver_config/server_transfer/down/createRemoteFolder"), but if I simply call it after the python program has made the file which the bash script reads, it works.
I am almost 100% sure it is not an issue with the directories, because pwd at the top of the bash script shows it in the correct directory, and the python program is also creating the data file in the correct place.
Any help is much appreciated.
EDIT:
I also tried the subprocess.call("path_to_script", shell=True) to see if it would make a difference, I know it is unlikely but it didn't.

I suspect that when calling the bash script from python, having just created the file, you are not really finished with that file: you should either explicitly close the file or use a with construct.
Otherwise, the written data is still in any buffer (from the file object, or in the OS, or wherever). Only closing (or at least flushing) the file makes sure the data is indeed in the file.
BTW, instead of os.system, you should use the subprocess module...
