Run your python script from the cmd with its name

If you want to run a python script just writing its name from the command line, without having to write py script_name.py, you can:

create a batch file (.bat) like this

py script_name.py

This worked for me:

go in the variable environment setting (type var in the search bar and it will show up)
in the global settings
choose path,
then modify,
then add the path to your .bat file (without the .bat file)
close everything: done.

Open the cmd, write the name of the .bat file and it will work

write var in the search bar and the enviromental variable settings will show up

Click on path

then modify

then new

Al last write the path to your .bat file

Now you can use the name of the batch file to start it frm everywhere

here is the batch file in the myapp_launcher folder

In the pymemo.bat you can write

python book20.py

so that you can launch that script from everywhere just typing pymemo in the command line (you can obviously change the names of the files to more intuitive ones).
