i'm trying to make a discord bot with discord.py, but when i try to run the bot, python closes, and inside command prompt i get errors like:
"Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases."

whenever i try to check for any errors in my code

i think i might be doing something wrong, i also repaired python, and even reinstalled it

i want to know if i should be trying to run the code by double clicking on the .py file for my bot, or in another way that i don't know of

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.

and i either get
Python was not found; run without arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases.

or

C:\Users\shane\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Users\\shane\\serverutilities.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
