`python script.py` is the standard for running a file in Python. If relative paths are messing with you, try `os.path.realpath(__file__)` to debug.
For IDEs, I’d recommend VS Code. It’s free, fast, and has great support for Python.

Wow, thanks y’all! I tried `python script.py` and it worked like a charm. Also, `os.path.abspath()` saved me from the relative path nightmare.
I downloaded VS Code based on your suggestions, and it’s been a game-changer. The integrated terminal makes running files in Python so much easier.
Quick follow-up: Any tips for debugging in VS Code? I’m still getting the hang of it. Thanks again! 🙌
