Copy that file onto a folder in a WIN10 computer
which uses Python 3.13 and copy it again onto a folder
in a WIN11 computer that runs Python 3.14.1
Double-click the filename in the folder on the
WIN10 computer. It executes the program and the
text file is created.
Double-click the filename in the folder on the
WIN11 computer and it fails, no text file is created.
No error statement is generated.
The strange thing here is that, on the WIN11 computer,
I right-click and choose "Edit with IDLE" option. The file
code is shown and I press F5. The program runs properly
and the text file is created. Of course, IDLE does not
show an error report on a working program.
There's probably an issue with the way Windows launches the Python
interpreter (or tries to do so) when double-clicking the script. Perhaps
there is no corresponding association on your Windows 11, or maybe it
points to another interpreter.
To figure this out, open a command prompt and in it cd to the directory
where your script is (the easiest way to do that: put your cursor in the
address bar in Explorer, replace the whole text that was there with
"cmd" (without the quotes), then press enter. That should open a command
prompt with the correct working directory.
Type the filename of your script, including the extension, the press
enter. What happens? Does this work, or is there an error? If so, what's
the error message?
If that didn't work, type "py <filename of your script>" (without the
quotes). What happens? Does this work, or is there an error? If so,
what's the error message?
