How do we use Python in script mode?
Python is a high level programming language that helps a user to run a program and integrate systems more efficiently; as it executes a program in comparatively fewer lines of code. In this programming language, a code can be run in two ways−
Interactive mode, and
Script mode
In this article, we will learn how to execute a python code in a script mode.
Python in Script Mode
A script mode in Programming languages is nothing but putting all the lines of code in a python program into a file, also known as a script, and using Python to run the file. Python in script mode can be run in various applications containing Python IDE; and also through a Terminal or Command Prompt.
In applications supporting Python, the scripts can be created and executed in the environment itself.
However, to execute a Python code in script mode using command line, one must follow the following command syntax −
C:\users>python filename.py
Here, filename.py is just a placeholder for the file containing the Python lines of code.
Example
Let us see an example to execute a Python code in a file, through the Command Prompt in Windows.
Assume we have a Python code in a file named ‘test.py’ –
#!/usr/bin/python print ("Hello World")
Make sure your system has python installed in it before executing the following command to execute the ‘test.py’ file −
C:\users>python test.py
The output is displayed as follows −
Hello World
