How do i run a python program just by typing the script name on windows 10 cmd line? Also without having to change directory. I already added my scripts folder and python folder to the path. tried also tu run assoc py.=PythonScript ftype PythonScript=python.exe %1 %*
Here's the program's content:
#! python3
# mapIt.py - Launches a map in the browser using an address from the command line or clipboard
import webbrowser, sys, pyperclip
if len(sys.argv) > 1:
address = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:])
else:
address = pyperclip.paste()
webbrowser.open('https://www.google.com/maps/place/' + address)
I think what you want is to run the file 'mapIt.py' without invoking the keyword python that is:
>mapIt.py
instead of
>python mapIt.py
the way to do that in Linux or macOS is simple enough, you can add
#!/usr/bin/env python
to the top of the file, rename your file from mapIt.py to mapIt make the script executable:
chmod +x mapIt
But for windows there is no straightforward solution.
One way you can do it is convert the file into an exe or
first add a python.exe association for all '.py' files
> assoc .py=Python
and then
> ftype Python="<path of your python.exe>" "%1" %*
replace the text in angular brackets (<>) with the path of your python.exe file.
