Hey guys, I installed Python and I had some problems with running it form the console. It runs perfectly fine with IDLE 32 bit, but when I saved it and run from Python, it flashes and exit the program. I attached a video to show what's wrong.
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses a user experiencing issues running Python scripts outside of IDLE, with problems occurring when dragging the .py file into the command prompt, which results in syntax errors. The helper suggests checking if Python is correctly added to the system PATH to ensure proper execution. The overall tone indicates troubleshooting for script execution problems, focusing on environment setup rather than script compatibility.

I would open a command prompt and just type python if you get a >>> prompt then python is in the path variable. if it errors out you need to add the path to the python executable to the path environment variable. If you don't get an error then type python <your python file> and see of it generates an error.
