Running a python file from file manager

Question

I'm having trouble figuring out how to run a python file and have the output appear in a new window.

I'm using Linux, and I can have it run perfectly fine from within the terminal, but I need to be able to run it from the file manager.

When I double click the file, all it does is open a text editor.

I've alteredthe permissions to allow the file to be executed, but double clicking still just opens the text editor.

How can I get the file to open a new window and show its' output there?

Edit: typos

make sure python file starts with a shebang line like this #!/usr/bin/env python if not exist add it yourself and try again — Mahmoud Elshahat

You need to change the programm assosiate with .py files. e.g. to associate .py codes with the terminal. This is all different in different distribution (or better Desktop Manager). Try this other post
