how to configure Notepad++ to run currently open Python file?

Richdev Boston

I use Notepad++ for editing all kinds of programs and text, but I want to use it to run programs too.

How do I run programs directly from the Python code I have open in Notepad++ ??

If I put “run Python” it just flashes the Python cmd window and the program never runs.

If I put the path to the Python runtime executable, the same thin happens. It does not actually run the program.

What arguments (if any) do I need to include to run the current Python code?

Thank you.

I assume you are looking for $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) variable.
In addition, you might want to execute python in a cmd instance with paramter /K
to see the output.

cmd /K python $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)

But there is an alternative which offers additional features.
I’ve posted it here.
