如何在Windows命令提示符下执行sql Python脚本？

Question

I have a simple script that uses sqlite3 in Python.

However, when I run this from cmd.exe in Windows I get an "Open With" window. If I click 'cancel' it says "Access is denied." in cmd.exe.

import sqlite3
connection = sqlite3.connect("test_database.db")
c = connection.cursor()
c.execute("CREATE TABLE People(FirstName TEXT, LastName TEXT, Age INT)")
c.execute("INSERT INTO People VALUES('Ron','Obvious',42)")
connection.commit()
connection.close()

I can run Python scripts fine from cmd.exe. I just have this problem because I'm using sqlite?

(Also, I have the sqlite path in PATH)

How can I stop this "Open with" window appearing, and actually get my script to run correctly from cmd.exe?

Answer 1

Running myscript.py in cmd does not work if I use import sqlite. Instead, I ran "python myscript.py" and the script runs fine.

Thanks to @nerdwaller.

In Windows, to execute a script that needs an interpreter, you can either run the interpreter manually:

C:\> python myscript.py

or ensure that .py files are associated with python.exe (if you get the "open with" window, it's likely that this was not done), then run the script with start , which is the equivalent of double-clicking:

C:\> start /b/wait myscript.py

or change the PATHEXT environment variable to allow executing files with that extension directly (this behaves then the same as the above start command):

C:\> set pathext=%pathext%;.py
C:\> myscript
