"Hey guys, quick question – what’s the easiest way to python run a file?

I’ve got this script saved as `myscript.py`, but I’m kinda stuck on how to actually *run* it.

Do I just type `python myscript.py` in the terminal, or is there more to it?

Also, does it matter if I’m on Windows or Mac?

Thanks in advance! (and sorry if this is a noob question lol)"

"Help! Trying to python run a file but nothing’s happening :/

So I wrote a simple script and saved it as `test.py`. When I double-click, it just flashes and closes.

Should I be using the command line instead? Like `python test.py`?

Or am I missing something obvious?

(Using Python 3.x btw, if that matters.)"

"Python run a file – what’s the correct syntax?

Hey folks,

Total beginner here. Just wanna make sure I’m doing this right.

If my file is `hello.py`, do I literally just open cmd and type:

`python hello.py`

Or is there a better way?

Thanks!"

Let me know if you want any tweaks!
