无法从笔记本下载.py 文件

Question

I am running Jupyter Notebook 6.1.0 and Python 3.8.5 on Windows 10. I create a simple Python file in Notebook and attempt to Download it as a.py file from the File Menu. Down in the lower left corner of the browser window, it seems to indicate it has saved it as a.py file. But when I click there on Open File, a window opens and immediately closes. If I look at the directory where the.py file should be saved, there is a not a.py file with the expected name. There is only an.ipynb file with that name.

Answer 1

a python file is saved as a text file in the directory. And the opening and closing is happening because it's the given output for that.

In Python 3, add the following to the end of your code:

input('Press ENTER to exit')

and open the file in a pycharm or your IDE edition.

Answer 2

I have a similar issue, but when I try to download as.py I get a file in my "Downloads folder" that has only 3 lines. (and these lines seem to be autogenerated, contains a "shebang" which is not in the notebook).
