Python: Scripts

A Python script is a file containing Python code that can be executed by the Python interpreter.

Scripts can be used to automate tasks, perform calculations, or interact with other software systems.

Run A Script

To run a Python script, you need to have the Python interpreter installed on your system. Once you have installed Python, you can run a script by opening a terminal or command prompt, navigating to the directory containing the script, and typing python myscript.py (replacing myscript with the name of your script).

For example, if you have a script named myscript.py in a directory called myproject, you can run it by opening a terminal or command prompt, navigating to the myproject directory, and typing python myscript.py.

If your script requires any command-line arguments, you can pass them to the script by including them after the script name. For example, if your script requires a filename as an argument, you could run it like this: python myscript.py myfile.txt.

When you run a Python script, the interpreter reads the code in the file and executes it. Any output produced by the script is printed to the console.
