Question

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?

Answer 1

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)"

that will run your program and keep the window open afterward so you can analyze the output.
