Yes, your problem lies here. You need to write
cmd into that box which in turn opens command interpreter. If you have installed PowerShell, then you can enter it (modern version of cmd). You can read about them here. If you are into programming seriously then you probably want to use 'Windows Subsystem for Linux'Once in shell of your choice cd (change directory) to folder where the file you want to run is located and then order Python to run this file:
python my_file.py (or python3 my_file.py, depending on your setup). Yes, you can provide path and then you don't need to change directory. (Jun-09-2021, 04:06 PM)bensan Wrote: But Im finding Python extremely alien with little or no explanation.
I don't think that this is Python, this is your knowledge about W10. All needed explanations about Python can be found at python.org
