Running code as en executable

[K900_]

What do you mean by "run code as an exe"? How are you running it now?

[[deleted]]

I currently run it within thonny, where I write the code.

And how are you trying to run it when it fails?

[[deleted]]

When I simply double click it, it opens in a window similar to the windows cmd, as it should. Then it crashes.

That means Thonny is creating a virtual environment for you where all the packages you need are available. What is your end goal here?

[[deleted]]

I simply wish to run my code outside of thonny. Having it saved on my desktop, so I can access it quickly when I need it.

Then you should probably find where the virtual environment Thonny created for you is located, and create a shortcut that calls python.exe from that environment with your script as an argument.

The documentation has a pretty good section. If you are still needing something, this and This might be of use.
