That’s how to run a Python script in terminal or CMD. It’s a very straightforward process, but it’s extremely handy if you ever want to quickly carry out a bespoke task.

Python code is enclosed in the script tag with a type="py" attribute. Note that the code should be formatted according to Python’s conventions for indentation, or it won’t run properly.

As the Python scripts will run in an isolated container, they will not have access to any local resources, including the local network, computer, files, and a Microsoft 365 authentication token.

The new PyScript project lets you embed Python programs directly in HTML pages and execute them within the browser without any server-based requirements.
