I just made a new .py file, but for some reason when I print output it ONLY works for my main.py…as in the console only works properly if the code is in main.py and it will completely ignore any code in the new .py file I created…any ideas on what to do?

When you slick RUN it only run main.py, but this can be changed by modifying the .replit file
see here

That happens because the run and entrypoint in .replit is set to main.py only, and not new.py. To solve this, click on the three dots on the filemenu, click show hidden files, and go to .replit. Change the entrypoint variable to new.py.

Oof… You beat me to it. Also, run is useless.

Hey @AngelicaWest, welcome to the community!
Just click the three dots then click “Show hidden files”. Next click on the .replit file and finally you can change the entrypoint to whatever file you want to run.
You can also change the second line from run="run_command_for_lang main.py" to run="run_command_for_lang fileIWantToRun.py", though it won’t have an effect for interpreted languages as shown in the comment on line 1.

But, if you consider it, what can you get by having a post marked as solution? It won’t put more knowledge in your head. It won’t put money in your pocket. The reason I answer questions is for learning.

In the .replit file I use this line
run = "python3 $(ls -t *.py | head -n1)"
Doing this way when you press RUN button replit will execute latest python saved file.

How about running multiple codes?

You can just use a for loop I guess. Remember that the run variable executes the value as a bash command.
