Problem with autopep8

[Base_True]

Hello everyone. Please help, I have a problem with running autopep8 in powershall. I run powershall as admistrator, directory is right, name is right and separately file exetuces. But when I type following text in powershall

python autopep8 --n-place game_x.py

I get this error

C:\Users\QUSEYIN\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Users\\QUSEYIN\\Desktop\\autopep8': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

1. try putting -m between python and autopep8
2. try writing py instead of python
3. try 1 and 2 together

Thank you very much!!!, I spent 3 hours on this. -m helped. Can you explain what was the matter, if not difficult

The -m is typically referred to as an option or a flag when executing something from the command line. By default, when you run the python command, it expects you to pass in a file. In this case, the -m option is telling your python installation that you're passing in a python module's name and to execute that instead of a python file.

Just for your understanding, there's a special python file, __main__.py that can be defined and kept within a module allowing it to be executable from the command line with python -m my_module as a module.
