works, see the same as you.

# Spelling error
C:\testpy>more hell.py

gives "can't access file" again...

# Ok
C:\testpy>more hello.py

gives "can't access file"...


my name has a special symbol: "´"
Can this be the problem in
pip 10.0.1 from c:\users\myname\appdata\local\programs\python\python37-32\lib\site
-packages\pip (python 3.7)
where "myname" is actually my real name with the special symbol?

No it work when you use python and pip so that's okay.

gives again:
"can't open file 'C:\testpy\hello.py" and "no such file or directory"

This dos usually never lie,try make new folders and files in other place(also an other drive like eg E:) then try again.
You can eg do it all in cmd:

# Make folder
C:\>mkdir my_dir
C:\>cd my_dir

# Make file
C:\my_dir>echo print('hello world') >my.py

# look 
C:\my_dir>more my.py
print('hello world')

# Run
C:\my_dir>python my.py
hello world

Yeah, doesn't work with other folder either. I don't get it...

But the "print" command in my file is not even displayed in blue, which should happen in a .py document, right? So it seems like the computer does not even reckognise it as a .py document.

It works now! My own comment gave me the right idea.

I took a look at "properties" of the file and even though I renamed it into "hello.py", in properties, the name was given as "hello.py.txt". So it was still a .txt file for the computer.
It seems like the file endings were disabled on my system, so I had to enable them first before I could change the file type with a simple ".py". Works now!

Thanks anyway!
