Could not start TabPy in cmd
JuHolland opened this issue · comments
Environment information:
- OS: Windows 10
- Python 3.9
- TabPy 2.5.0
Issue
I installed tabpy with the following command: python -m pip install tabpy
And then tried and start TabPy by running in the cmd: python -m tabpy
However I would get the following error:
No module named tabpy.__main__; 'tabpy' is a package and cannot be directly executed
Solution
The solution I found is to add a __main__.py
script in C:\Users\name.surname\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\tabpy\__main__.py
The script contains:
from tabpy.tabpy import main
import sys
sys.exit(main())
Did I maybe do something wrong when installing TabPy?
you don't need to be in Python to run the cmd to start TabPy. You should just be able to type tabpy in the cmd line without starting Python first.
