Python Question

[R_I_P1337]

Ive been writing a crappy game in python recently and im wonderin whether anyones knows how to actually run the program when your finished with it? Can anyone tell me how?

Are you writing it on Linux or Windows?

If you're writing it on Linux, then the first line of your entry script should be

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/python


And then it should have the extension .py. On Windows if you installed Python using the automated installer, then just double-click the presumable .py extension named entry script.

Yup, that's basically it.

On some Windows systems without Python installed, its only going to open the script, not interpret it.

I always load my python scripts from console (I run linux). I have them in a folder on my desktop so all I need to do is type:

Code: Select all

cd Desktop/python
python script.py


I prefer not to double-click em on windows because it closes as soon as it terminates the script, hence you can't read any debug messages.
Hope that helps, thedotmaster
