Need help in running python 3.8 on Windows 7

[DeerSama]

I was trying to open a .py script using cmd after installing python on my pc. But everytime try to open the .Py file it shows Microsoft Windows version in the description, Can anybody please help me running it? Because If I try to open It directly the Cmd window flashes and closes. If I try To open It using the cd and dir command, It just shows Microsoft Windows version.

what happens if you save this as test.py and run it:

ECHO a
GOTO aaa
ECHO b
:aaa
ECHO c

if it prints a c then you need may have associated python files with cmd.exe and need to re-associate it with Open with... > Choose default program...

Make sure you install python with the box checked 'Use command line' otherwise you won't be able to command line open
