How to make python scripts executable on Windows? [duplicate]
This sums it up better than I can say it:
http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html
More specifically, check out the 2nd section titled "How do I make Python scripts executable?"
On Windows, the standard Python installer already associates the
.py
extension with a file type (Python.File
) and gives that file type an open command that runs the interpreter (D:\Program Files\Python\python.exe "%1" %*
). This is enough to make scripts executable from the command prompt asfoo.py
. If you’d rather be able to execute the script by simple typingfoo
with no extension you need to add.py
to thePATHEXT
environment variable.
