    Beginner's question: executing scripts under Win XP pro

    Hi,

    I'm a beginner with python 2.4. I use it on Win XP Pro. I have no problems
    with the GUI IDLE, but
    when I copy the instructions in a script file, say 'test.py' and double
    click on the file, I have just a
    console window for a few moments, no output shown and the window closes
    automatically before
    I can do anything else. I am greatful if anyone can help me.

    Please reply also to jean-claude.garreau@ univ-lille1.fr

    Thanks a lot,

    Jean-Claude

      there seems to be an error in your script.
      Why don't you execute it directly from IDLE (F5) ? There, you should
      see where the problem is.

          Thank you for your answer. I did it. It executes perfectly in IDLE. I made a
          copy/paste
          from IDLE into the 'test.py' and I obseved the behavior I discribed. The
          script is extremely simple
          (it is just a test):

          n=0

          while( n<10 ):

          print n,n*n

          n+=1

              Your script may be working properly, but XP simply removes the window
              after the script runs. Here is a simple fix that will stop at the end
              of the script and leave the Command window open:

              print "Hello World"
              raw_input()

                  That'll work (it waits for input from the user, and, as soon as it
                  receives it shuts down the window).

                  Another way to do it is instead of doubleclicking on the script,
                  open a command prompt window (Start>Run>cmd OR
                  Start>Programs> Accessories>Com mand Prompt) then type
                  'python test.py' at the prompt. Now the window stays open
                  until you specifically close it and you can rerun the script many times.

                  HTH,

                  JC

                      Set the environment variable PYTHONINSPECT.
                      It causes the interpreter to halt at the interactive prompt
                      after the script runs so you can see the output.
