Python.exe opens in a new console window

Question

I used to run Python scripts from my Windows command line, and all the prints were printed in the same console. Now something happened on my machine (Windows 10), and when I launch a Python script from the command line (ie open a Command Prompt and run python <my_script.py> ), Windows opens a new window (titled with the absolute path of python.exe). This windows closes automatically at the end of the execution, so that I can't see the output.

How do I go back to printing output in the same command prompt window from which I run the script?

Answer 1

It's odd but it very likely a windows setup issue as python is an exe. If memory serves windows will spawn on a > run command so checking the way python is booting will help.

Unfortunately it could be a range of issues, so some steps towards victory:

What happen when you just type python into the cmd? If it simply starts the input >>> - it means your python setup is fine. If a cmd window spawns and disappears it may be a windows permissions issue.

Try running your script with -i flag: python -i script.py . This drops you into the repl when the app completes - displaying your output.

Ensure you're using the native flavour of the cmd to test. Ensuring any command app or IDE isn't injecting a start command or weird /K (spawn new window) flag.

Hope it helps.

Not sure how useful this will be but I had this same problem, found this thread, and realized that the new console window was opening up when I omitted 'python' from the command.

>python myscript.py

shows the output right in the terminal where I typed the command, but

>myscript.py

opens the new console window and closes it immediately after the script runs.

In my computer this was caused by Windows not knowing what program a .py file was associated with. I solved this by going to: Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program (Scroll down) and choose "Choose default apps by file type" Scroll down until you see ".py" and choose the correct Python interpreter.

简单地说：程序末尾的最后一行可能是： input("\\nIf you want to end the program press any key ...") ...然后你的程序等待键，你会看到你的结果
