Spyder 3 for Python running code

Question

I've been trying to run some code in Spyder using their idle, but I keep getting an error such as SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Assuming that the file requires 2 inputs, for example, img1.bmp, and an integer (ie python file.py img1.bmp 4).

Answer 1

The idle is a python interpreter, and it is giving you a python error SyntaxError: invalid syntax . You are already running python, so entering python file.py img1.bmp 4 would not make any sense. You would need to run that in a command prompt. If you want to run it in a python interpreter, you could import your file and call the functions as needed.
