Running scripts in Spyder using windows Command Prompt or PowerShell

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to run python scripts in spyder-ide using windows cmd or PowerShell instead of IPython console.

Ipython sometimes works differently than if the script is run in cmd specially for plotting packages like matplotlib, etc.

I am using Spyder latest version.

Regards

to clarify: you want to use your windows cmd to run a script in spyder? why not launch from cmd directly? — Cut7er

hi @Cut7er Thanks for the advice, I am wondering if there is a simple click method in spyder itself to make the code runs in cmd instead of IPython console. — Khalil Al Hooti

i would advise opening cmd in the folder where your script lies, there you can then run it with the command python script_name.py ...this way your console won't close after the script execution is finished — Cut7er

In Spyder, you can click Run > Configuration per file, which will give you plenty of options in where your Spyder-IDE-Script is launched.

Thank, it works but cmd disappears right after executing the code!. For example if the code is print('hi'), Spyder runs the code in cmd if the option of console is an external system terminal is selected but I cant see the result unless adding a line input('wait').

@KhalilAlHooti, for that, please activate the option called Interact with the Python console after execution, also present in "Run > Configuration per file".

I think the option you are looking for is "Execute in External System Terminal" in the options found under the menu item of [Tools] / [Preferences] / [Run]
