Geany : Build Execute python ignoring setting

With Build/Set Build Commands/Execute Commands

Two items: 

 1. Execute (the installed) 
 2. Python3 (custom)

Both fields set to :

 /usr/bin/python3 -i "%f"

With otherwise working python file in the current window, pressing F5 or Selecting Build.Python3 has the same result:

Terminal window opens to file directory. No activity.

What am I missing/doing wrong?

Solution

  • The error was in the Edit/Preferences/Tools/Terminal field. I changed 

     mate-terminal

    to 

     mate-terminal -e "/bin/sh %c"

    Now all is well.
