How to open files writen by spyder using command prompt?

Question

Win 10 user. I wrote a file (tik-tac-toe game) with spyder in anaconda. As I tried to run it with command prompt, I received "OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application".

The modules I use are numpy, matplotlib and random. I used

python -m pip install --user numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose

which took quite a while. I'm not sure if there is an issue with the modules or other stuff.

Answer 1

I just drag the file from the file explorer into the command prompt and hit enter

I assume you dragged a .py file.

Those aren't executable processes like an exe. They must be interpreted by the Python interpreter, meaning that you'd have to type out python game.py , for example from that directory.

If you want to make an EXE, then you can search for options like pyinstaller or cx_freeze
