Python.exe and .py files opens calculator - muroseu - Jun 28, 2016
So yeah.. tittle says it all..
Even if i open python.exe it opens a calculator.. i can't run .py files because it opens a calculator.. I'v tried opening them in cmd and same thing.. I don't know whats the problem..

lmao you fucked up and renamed the binary. Or you were fucking around with binary poisoning and injected a calculator into it. Open a command prompt and type this:
PHP Code
<?php
where python
Post the path.

What an unusual error. Have you tried installing python3.5? Also has python worked in the past for you?

Try to clean your regedit :)

Something tells me you have malware... that's looking for "Python.exe"

Nope not malware. Scanned my PC with every fucking program and checked a lot of files/regedit etc manually

Regardless of what it is, a format and reinstall of Windows/Your OS should fix it.

Since no one has asked, check the basics, are you sure your file association for python files is actually set to python? I assume you've tried to open python directly from the installation: C:\Python<XX>\py.exe
Does it do the same thing if you try opening it from CMD? "start C:\Python<XX>\py.exe"
You're not running any keybind/macro programs/hardware right?

Edit: Reinstalled Windows 10 on the machine with python problems.
I have linux and windows machines
