python command doesn't nothing

[Hutik]

If I use the command: python <file> it does absoluthely nothing. Same with "python3". I'm using a conda environment. I don't know if I'm missing something, on Windows it worked like this and I'm new to Linux.

Edit: the python command alone is working, but it is not able to open a file

What is the exact content of the file and what did you expect it to do?

It seems to work for me:

Code: Select all

$ cat hello.py
print ("Hello, World!")
$ python hello.py
Hello, World!
$

Linux is not Windows, welcome to Linux and the Debian User Forums.

I'm using a conda environment.

Are you even using Debian ? There is not a "conda" environment in the Debian repositories, I don't think this is a Debian package or software,...
Also, I tried the "Hello World", program as shown ,and it worked fine for me as well, but I am using Debian,with no "conda environment", just pure Debian

It trains a neural network, and it's full of print statements

It trains a neural network

Seems not.

Wow, I didn't know that.

I'm using Debian, as you said we're in the Debian User Forum. Conda is not in the official repositories, however it doesn't mean it's not a Debian software.

No problem running it in VSCode, it doesn't work only in terminal

Is the file made executable?

Thank you, it was such a dumb thing. I thought it has to be executable to been run without the python command.

That is what I figured, but that's ok, you will start learning the differences.

Yea, but that does not mean you are using Debian, you would be surprised how many new members we get and it turns out they are not using Debian,...

Yes it does, where you got it ?How you installed it, could have a lot to do with why it did not work as expected. I do hope you at least read some of the documentation about installing software that came from random websites, outside of the Debian repositories,... but you seem to be so much smarter then me, I am sure I don't need to tell you about that.

I love how the tutorial starts out:

If you cannot run or execute a python script, there is no point in being a programmer. I mean, the ultimate goal of a developer is to write scripts that are executable and actionable
