Python 脚本在 CMD 中不起作用，但可以用作 Jupyter Notebook

Question

I'd like to get a little insight for this issue I'm running into. I'm a rookie when it comes to python, and I'm not even sure how to properly identify my issue so I can research better answers.

I'm using windows 10, and running python 3.8 (same issues arose with 3.7, before I did a clean install)

I've written an API call in Jupyter and after a week of struggling, I finally got it to execute and save the data into a nice csv into a folder on my hard drive. I saved the code as a.py. My next step was to automate this API call by using Windows Task Scheduler for everyday 2pm to run the.py script from the command line.

I noticed it wasnt running, and tried to run it manually, but all that happens is a command prompt opens and closes faster than I can see whats going on. There is no output in the destination folder.

I wanted to make sure python was correctly installed, and set to PATH, and after double checking everything I got a successful 'Hello World' printed from the command line just fine. But when I try to run the.py script all it does is return the name of the script I am trying to run, with no error or kickback message. I'm not sure where things are going wrong.

To further complicate things, I am unable to get this code to run in Visual Studio. To further further complicate things, I was worried these issues arose because I didn't have the necessary modules installed (such as pandas, or json). Attempts a pip install returned synatx errors.

I apologize for the mess, and I'm sure my terminology is close enough just to be confusing. Any help, links to other questions, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Dealing with the same damn thing right now.

from datetime import datetime, date
print("Your date of birth (dd mm yyyy)")
dateOfBirth = datetime.strptime(input("Enter your date of birth: "), "%d %m %Y")

def calculateAge(born):
    today = date.today()
    return today.year - born.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (born.month, born.day))

age = str(calculateAge(dateOfBirth))
print("You're " + age + " years old")

Let me know if you ever come across any solution. Note my code runs perfectly fine in jupyter notebook but not in the command line.
