Why Do My Python Scripts Close Immediately When I Try to Run Them?

Asked By CleverCactus92 On

I'm having trouble running Python scripts, even ones downloaded from the internet. They seem to close immediately without running, and I feel like my Python installation isn't recognized at all, even though I've confirmed it's installed and added to the PATH. I'm wondering if there's a problem with my computer settings or something in the command prompt that's causing Python to crash. I just want to get someone else's script working, but right now, I'm stuck!

What specifically are you trying to run? If you could share details about 'the script' itself, it might help us pinpoint the issue. Sometimes scripts have specific Python version requirements, and that can cause conflicts.

First off, how are you trying to run those scripts? Just double-clicking them might not be the best approach. You could try running them from the command line instead—this way, you can actually see any error messages that pop up before the window closes on you. What do you think?

It sounds like you're running Windows 11 and installed Python from the official site. Have you tried using IDLE, the built-in Python editor? You can open your script there, and it allows you to run your scripts without the window closing right away. Just search for IDLE on your computer and give it a shot!
