Even if my file is "main.py",cannot run my project

[sylas]

Hi all! When I am on the project, I cannot run it. Python says he does not find my "main" file.
Here is my main.py:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

if __name__ == '__main__':       import handling_num     import factorial     import case     import sort     import chaotic     import solver     import roule     import while_True     import game_tk     import game

Show the error.
Python would not do anything but return as complete, since all you are doing here is importing stuff.

Error:
E:\Documents>python Py1
C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'Py1'

E:\Documents>

Strange ! I am on E he goes to C. That may be the reason. But why he does not rest on E ?

---

I must add that with "python main.py", all the project runs well.

There is no reason why this should cause an error.
I don't have same packages as you, so used a couple different for import,
but created following python program
dingo.py:

1 2 3 4

λ cat dingo.py if __name__ == '__main__':     import sys     import tkinter

then ran:

1	λ python dingo.py

without issue

[sylas]

1 2 3 4

#λ cat dingo.py if __name__ == '__main__':     import sys     import tkinter

First line commented or not , file doesn't work. Now error in case first line cmmented:

Error:
E:\Documents\new_files>python f3.py
  File "f3.py", line 1
    λ cat dingo.py
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

E:\Documents\new_files>python f3.py

E:\Documents\new_files>python f3.py

HIs first line is a bash command to output the fie to show you the contents. If you commented that out and get no output that means it worked as nothing is suppose to output from importing usually.

I would suggest to put your project up on github and tell us which file you are running. There is nothing wrong with the interpreter. It is something you are doing.

Notice Py1 is a folder, not a file. Maybe I try something impossible. So in case I have many projects, I cannot tell python "run this project". As for Github, even if I am on Atom, it is very complicated for me to use Github.

Notice Py1 is a folder, not a file.

Python can run a folder if it contains a file __main__.py.

Error:

Is there a file named "__main__.py" in Py1? don't forget the double underscores on each side of the word 'main'.
