Python Launch Options

[metulburr]

I have a script file tied to the key combo Ctrl+Alt+P to navigate to my script folder and run Python.

What are you trying to do? Just run the script "python_start.py"? In linux all you need to do is

$ cd
$ python python_start.py

But it just opens a blank Terminal window with a flashing cursor, which disappears when I click on it.

youd have to show us what the script contains.
