Assuming I have Windows XP, and I installed ActiveState Python. No any
other additional manipulations were done, no any PATHEXTes environment
variables, etc, etc, nothing. How many preparatory work required to
run
one small python file?
I hope I'm understanding your question correctly.
I can't really answer with regard to ActiveState's version. I've only
used the Python.org binary installation for a long time, and it does set
up the path on installation. I don't think it adds the PATHEXT, but I
really don't remember; I've had some version on my computer since Python
1.5.2. Without that, though, all you'd need would be to type
python test.py
.... given the other assumptions you've indicated. Oh, if you are running
the python program (located in a directory not in your path) from some
other directory, you'd need to specify the full pathname, I suppose,
like
python c:\dir\test.py
I'd assume that ActiveState also sets the path up, but again, I can't
say for sure that it does. If it doesn't, then you'd add the Python root
directory to your path or else you'd have to specify *that* each time as
well.
