I tried running a python script, but it immediately closes when it encounters an error. Is there a way to stop the console window from closing after an error without using a batch file and without typing this command:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K <command>
By the way, adding try and except still doesn't stop the console window from closing. Even using:
except:
sys.exit(0)
Well the console closes as soon as the python program is finished. So if you sys.exit(0) in your except statement, the program finishes and the console close.
Either you write a .bat file next to your python file, that makes sure to call cmd.exe properly, and you run that one. Or you wait in the except statement for some user input/confirmation and sys.exit() only then.
Last solution if you want to see the console only to see the messages, try to print the messages to a file, either using print( "abc", file=opened_file ) in the python code, or adding > filename at the end of the shell command to redirect the standard output to a file.
Personally, I just run the program directly from cmd.exe's shell and never close the terminal.
