I am trying to run a code through Notepad++ to Python using

(attempt 1) Run, Run,C:\Python26\python.exe, Run

(attempt 2) Run, Run, C:\Python26\python26.exe $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH), Run

(attempt 1) opens the Python Command Window but it's blank and is not running the program I wrote in.

(attempt 2) doesn't do anything

any suggestions?

Add the location of the Python binary to your PATH environment variable, then you can call it with just the script name.

My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> PATH -> Edit

append a semicolon to the line along with your python binary location, eg:

C:\Perl\bin;C:\Python31\bin

Then you can use this in Notepad++:

cmd /K "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

this will allow you to run your program and keep the window open afterward so you can analyze it's output.

  • I guess I am not understanding what you mean. How about this? I have made it run with C:\Python26\python.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"...I forgot the ""...but it opens and closes in a flash. I think the /k is what I need but I don't know where to put it.

  • If you add C:\Python26 to your path you don't need it, but you can use cmd /k C:\Python26\python.exe "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

It's useful to hotkey shortcuts->run commands:

  1. open containing folder
  2. open current dir cmd

The 2nd will open a cmd.exe prompt, and cd to script's location.
