I tried to run a .py file by typing python twitterstream.py > output.txt
in the command prompt of windows 10. It then said
fatal python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
File "C:\Python27\Lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 123 raise CodecRegistryError,\
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
From what I saw through a google search, the solution may be to change the PYTHONPATH
env variable. However, I had PYTHONPATH
set to C:\\Python27
for both the user and system variables, but I still get the same error in the command prompt
I also read http://bugs.python.org/issue11288 , and tried to change all PYTHONPATH
system variable which originally pointed to C:\\Python27
and changed it to C:\\Python34
but that didn't solve the problem
I then followed https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#python-launcher-for-windows , but when I type py
it says Python 2.7.9 ..
, but for py -3
I get a popup saying python.exe has stopped working
and
fatal python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
File "C:\Python27\Lib\encodings\__init__.py", line 123 raise CodecRegistryError,\
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
also, py hello.py
says from python 2.7.9 ...
, but changing #! python
#! python
to #! python3
#! python3
gives the same error I said before
Even if I set PATH
AND PYTHONPATH
user variables to C:\\Python34;C:\\Python27;C:\\Python27\\Scripts;C:\\Python34\\Scripts
, along with the PythonPath
system variable to C:\\Python34;C:\\Python27;C:\\Python27\\Scripts;C:\\Python34\\Scripts
, but the error was the same as before
For some reason by typing only the "py" file name in the command prompt it worked for me. So I typed myScript.py and it ran correctly. Before this I typed "python myScript.py" and it produced the same error that you experienced. I have the environment variables set PYTHONPATH=c:\\python27
and PYTHONHOME=c:\\python27
. I hope this helps.
At the start of your program include the line
#!/usr/bin/python3
Windows will use this to run your code in Python 3.4 rather than 2.7
