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.

restive iron why cant i open this file without it closing for no reason?

That happens if you double click the python file. You should instead run it via command line, so that you can see the output. To do this, open file explorer to where the file is. Type cmd in the file path bar and press enter to open the cmd at that location. Run py file_name.py to run the file.

Now type py "file name.py" and press enter. You need quotes since the file name has spaces.

what that mean

#

You typed py file_name.py inside the file at some point, you need to delete that. It’s probably at the very end.
