I’ve written a Python script that should print some output or at least show an error if something fails. However, when I run it, it just exits immediately without showing anything.
There’s no traceback or visible error message.

I’ve already tried running it from the terminal and adding print statements, but it still closes instantly.
What are the possible reasons for a Python program to exit silently like this?

    You have not provided your code. Also why are using both the python 3.x and python 2.7 tag. Commented Nov 18 at 10:27

  • A common beginner's mistake is defining a function that contains the code to be run, but then forgetting to actually call the function. That said, I agree with the previous comments: without showing your code, it is not possible to give you advice other than by guessing. Commented Nov 18 at 11:35
  • ”What are the possible reasons for a Python program to exit silently like this?” - One very common reason is a mistake in the code and/or debugging. You imply that you have made no mistakes, but we can’t know that for certain. Commented Nov 18 at 12:22
