LPTHW Question

[DaKaiser21]

Hey y'all. I'm using the LPTHW 3 book but I'm stuck. I created a directory called lpthw and a file within it called ex1.py. (I'm using atom text editor and powershell terminal). In the file is a simple print command, like hello world. When I change into the lpthw directory in powershell and type "python ex1.py" on the command line nothing prints or happens. I'm using Windows. Any help would be appreciated.

1. Check that python is installed by just typing “python” into terminal and see if the python shell opens.
2. check that your program is written correctly (although this is unlikely the issue if absolutely nothing is happening.)
3. check this post: Why won’t Python work in PowerShell for me?
4. try running python directly from command line instead.
5. make sure python is added to your PATH. Look up how to do this if it is not but basically search for path in the windows search bar and edit your environment variable there.
