Okay, so about 6 months ago a guy built a program for my company using python. The program ran fine, but now all of a sudden, it doesn't work. The error message says it can't find python/python.exe. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a file that came with the python installation, or if this is something that was built by the programmer. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

2The logical followup question: what's changed on the computer(s) to cause it to stop working? My assumption is something broke the PATH variable to no longer point to C:\program files\PythonVCurrent\billinkc– billinkc2011-09-17 19:24:12 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2011 at 19:24

This is not a programming question so it's possibly off-topic. It's also too localized, and doesn't contain enough info to answer, so it's not a real question.agf– agf2011-09-17 20:44:16 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2011 at 20:44

A similar thing happened to me too. I have no idea what happened, but in the middle of writing my django application in JetBrains' PyCharm it started complaining about invalid interpreter. Somehow python.exe has disappeared from my disk without me even opening the folder...varesa– varesa2013-10-18 14:47:07 +00:00Commented Oct 18, 2013 at 14:47

Same problem as @varesa, My solution : Avast put my python.exe file in quarantine...need to go in the chest to add an exception for this file.AntoineP– AntoineP2017-10-05 12:32:22 +00:00Commented Oct 5, 2017 at 12:32

Python.exe is a compiler-cum-interpreter file that comes with Python Implementation Package. It runs the code written using the python language. You can't run python code until this is installed on your system. I suggest you go and download Python implementation from HERE for your OS and then try running the program you were doing earlier.
