Hello, I tried to run the python --version command in the terminal but it gave me an error and I tried everything to resolve this error but nothing worked. Thanks in advance.P.S : I don't know much about it so that's why I'm probably going to look stupid

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Ok, on Windows py is the Python launcher.

So:

  • py: should get you a Python prompt
  • py -m pip install foo: should install package foo
  • py myscript.py: should run the script in the file myscript.py
#

py also manages multiple Python installs, if you install a few versions.

God bless you

No worries.
