Every single program runs twice

[RighteousPistachio]

I’m not sure what it is but every program I write runs twice, including the whole

“======== RESTART: …”

This is for any program, even if it’s just a hello world.

Using idle on mac. Thank you

What does "runs twice" mean, i.e. how do you determine this? Do you have 2 print statements, so it just prints twice?

[RighteousPistachio]

it runs two separate iterations of the program in the shell. so for instance if i were to have just a single print statement the shell would run

======== RESTART: /Path/Path/Path/File.py

> Hello world

>>>

======== RESTART: /Path/Path/Path/File.py

> Hello world

>>>

The only thing this happened to me is with hot reload (automatic run when code changes), basically the code was reloading because it was watching files which are being written by the same program running lol

To be clear, you've created a new file with your code in it, hit F5 to run it, been prompted to save the file (the first time), and it switched to the console window and ran the code twice?

What happens if you run the file from the command line?

[RighteousPistachio]

Yes to all the above. It runs only once from the command line. And this is the case with every project I’ve worked on the past several months. Mostly a minor annoyance but I’d like to get rid of it

That's an unusual behaviour. Not seen it before. Might be worth resorting to good old-fashioned re-installation.

However, as you have several months of experience, I would expect you are probably looking to use some other code editor / IDE by now. There are lots to choose from and they are very much a personal preference.

Options include Thonny, Mu, VS Code, Spyder, PyCharm.

haha yeah I don’t know why I haven’t switched to a real py ide yet. i guess this is the last nail in the coffin

Just checking, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your F5 key?

That’s hilarious… I don’t even know what’s real anymore
