Jun 22, 2018 at 15:08 comment added a1s2d3f4 this worked for me: cmd /k "c:\python36\python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"". Note the extra quotes around the whole statement that's sent to cmd.
Apr 11, 2018 at 6:36 comment added Bharat Anand Tried all answers and all options within those on this page, all I have been able to get is a cmd window open up with different present working directory locations! None of them actually executed my python program from the Notepad++ from where I launched python using F5. Please help!

Rearrage options to put reccomended option first, least safe option last.

Aug 27, 2016 at 18:45 comment added Gabriel Staples Update: this works for me too: py -3 -i "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)". Helpful link to understand the py -3 command: stackoverflow.com/questions/15912063/…
Jul 12, 2016 at 1:29 comment added Gabriel Staples for Python 3.5 the directory is a little bit more complicated. This works for me: C:\Users\Gabriel\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\python.exe -i "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Jan 13, 2016 at 19:58 comment added copeland3300 While this answer (#3) seems to be the most common one I've found on the web, it doesn't work well for me. The problem is that it runs everything in the Notepad++ directory. Thus, I've come up with the following solution: cmd /c "taskkill /F /IM python.exe & cd $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY) & C:\Python27\python.exe -i "$(CURRENT_DIRECTORY)\$(FILE_NAME)"" This runs the code in the correct folder, as well as leaves an interpreter open after execution. Further, it will close any other open python windows you have that you might have neglected to close, as I frequently do.

The beginning of the answer is not valid any more, since the link is broken
May 5, 2014 at 20:53 comment added AlanSE I don't understand the shortcut thing. I save it and give it a shortcut combination, but then it won't run just by pressing those keys. What am I doing wrong? I can make it a plugin command and use it when the console window is selected. But that completely defeats the point.

Added note about -i for keeping the Python window open

Nov 9, 2009 at 18:56 comment added Robert Rossney The problem is that you have spaces in the path to the file that it's trying to open, and your script doesn't put double quotes around it.
Nov 9, 2009 at 18:54 comment added richtea hmm, thanks for the help so far. I tried option 2, that didnt work. It said : i37.tinypic.com/b4fhfm.jpg On Windows 7, this might be the problem?
