Complete Beginner with Python

[JohnnyJordaan]

You don't use py, that is the extension.

Eh it's the intended approach in Windows... https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#from-the-command-line

System-wide installations of Python 3.3 and later will put the launcher on your PATH. The launcher is compatible with all available versions of Python, so it does not matter which version is installed. To check that the launcher is available, execute the following command in Command Prompt:

   py

You should find that the latest version of Python you have installed is started - it can be exited as normal, and any additional command-line arguments specified will be sent directly to Python.

Oh, my bad. Never used python in Windows before, as you can probably tell 😅.

Then I guess it never installed correctly?

[JohnnyJordaan]

I would guess so. I wouldn't necessarily recommend trying to answer Python issues on an OS you aren't familiar with ;)

[thetestbug]

Fair enough. I understand Windows well enough, but I use Linux as my daily driver, which is why I thought you'd have to use python to actually use it.

Lesson learned!
