The command "python3 wa_kdbe.py" returns error

[NioBee]

Describe the bug
When I follow the instructions provided in the home of this release I receive an error message inserting the command you suggest into GIT CMD

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. run 'GIT CMD' as admin
2. Enter 'python3 wa_kdbe.py'
3. See error ' "python3" non è riconosciuto come comando interno o esterno,
   un programma eseguibile o un file batch.'

solution
instead of 'python3 wa_kdbe.py' use 'py wa_kdbe.py'
Changing this line worked good for me, the procedure was then completed without further errors.

Desktop:

That py thing. I think that is only for your system somehow.

Keeping this open until I figure out what caused that.
Also if not specifically requested you should never run programs as admin.

As I first run into that problem I googled it and found the solution here I think it's somehow a issue that occurs in windows systems

I will look into that. Thanks for the link

As I've read on many forums it looks like this is the new of way of running python files but I don't know in which version of python it is implemented or how many people this new method will going to cover. I will add a troubleshoot point about this issue for now until I read about it more.

Also can you check if double clicking the file runs it?

Ok so, if I double click it without a connected phone the window opens and immediately closes itself without the time to read what it says.. Perhaps it could be useful to add something like an error message: please connect your phone..
here a short gif showing what happens:

If I click it having my phone connected it seems to work right:

One small issue, at this point if I select N (for no) the process advances anyway..

That is happening because I never really thought of running it by double clicking. To stop console from closing on exit I need to use

import os
os.system('pause')

before quitting. I added that in recent commit on master for almost every exit and exception case in my code. Hopefully I did not break anything I was in hurry while doing that.

My bad I added that second line (yellow backup advice) recently and did not pay attention that I was checking for input after printing both. I fixed it too.

You can test these changes if you like. Be sure to pull latest changes

git checkout master
git pull origin
