Just Getting Started

1

I am in the process of learning python for my coding language so I can use it to develop some software to help a friend who has a rather unique hose assembly business.

I have decades of experience programming, on mainframes (yes I’m one of those dinosaurs from long ago) but also have designed websites, know my way around HTML, CSS, SQL and PHP.

I’ve installed Anaconda’s latest version and Python 3.12.

I just downloaded the book “Create GUI Applications with Python & Qt6” and am looking to input and execute the code for app.py.

I inputted it into Spyder in Anaconda but it won’t execute there.

What tool should I use to enter the code and how would I then execute it?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Without any details it is hard to tell what is going on. Did you create virtual environment, did you install all dependencies, do you are able to run hello world kind of script… etc…

I figured it out, but couldn’t see a way to delete the original message.

I can create the programs using Spyder and save them.
I just need to execute the python command from the directory the program is saved in

python main_window2.py

or use the directory in the execution command

python .spyder-py3/main_window2.py

Thanks for taking the time to reply

of course it depends… in normal case python main_window2.py but more robust is python -m main_window2 let python bootstrap ‘better’
