PyCharm know how’s
Set python interpreter
Note: In this example the dtk environment is called venv
Run script from terminal
Tip: Use the tab key to autocomplete the name of the file while typing
The program used in the terminal is often per default cmd.exe. If this needs to be changed (i.e. to powershell or vice versa) this can be achieved in File -> Settings -> Tools -> Terminal
Run script from pycharm
Run script interactively
Note: Use the shortcut SHIFT+ALT+E (windows) to interactively send code to the python console
Tip: Running in interactive mode is helpful for debugging code, add print or error capturing statements to facilitate checking each step (as shown in running from pycharm)
