I tried to run other files other than main.py and now nothing is working:(

[dav777jehova]

Question:
Can anyone help me with my situation ? I was trying to follow other guides on how to run other files other than main.py but now nothing is working on my account , not even the main.py, I tried to change entrypoint and run and deleted my main.py and then I undid the changes because nothing was running and now after undoing the changes and creating a new main.py , nothing runs now. It’s stuck on this screen whenever I hit run

Could you try reloading the page?

[dav777jehova]

I did try reloading the page several times but it didn’t work. Also I think it gave me an error once main.py doesn’t exist?

The language is python and no code is working , https://replit.com/@dav777jehova/day-1-printing-start#.replit . Here is the link I think? I’m posting the link to other things as well , maybe that will help.

[vvithershins]

I forked and ran your repl and got this in the console No such file: main.pyit seems the file you are trying to to run is just named main and not main.py

Simply rename it to main.py and it should work.

[dav777jehova]

Thank you for doing that but in my folder its named main.py , I already tried deleting it and then renaming it but I’ll try again , maybe I’m doing something wrong.

[vvithershins]

Sorry I see now, the file you are trying to run IS named main.py it’s just not running because it’s within the venv folder.

To fix this just change the entry point to venv/main.py

[dav777jehova]

can you try this ?

https://replit.com/@dav777jehova/day-1-printing-start#venv/main.py

[dav777jehova]

@vvithershins

venv/main.py

Ow , sure! and no worries:) thanks for all the help

[dav777jehova]

Is this what you wanted me to do?

[vvithershins]

Yes, it looks like it’s stuck, this happened for me as well. You can type kill 1 in the shell to stop it, and then run it again and it should work. At least it did for me

[dav777jehova]

OH MY GOD ITS WORKINGGG , I’m never touching this config file again because I’m afraid I’ll mess it up HAHA

[dav777jehova]

Just changing the entrypoint did it for me , thanks for the extra tip too:)

[vvithershins]

You’re welcome. I think it might have been more so just where you had your files saved (in the venv folder) and having multiple files named main rather than the config file itself which was adding to the confusion.

[dav777jehova]

Ohh, I think I’m getting it a bit now , like how to run files other than main.py and like how to set the location of it like you did here but I’m a bit scared rn so I’ll do it when I can
