Error message which running Python tools in Visual Studio


I am new to python and just started learning it today.

I have installed Python Tools for Visual Studio 2010 and using VS as my Editor.

My test python programs run correctly but the at the last line in the output window I see the following

The thread 'Python Thread' (0x6f4) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Please advice me what this error means and how can I resolve it. Thanks a bunch in advance!

Edit: Also, whenever I try to run my program by pressing F5 (Start Debugging), it opens up a command window titled c:\Program Files\Python32\python.exe, it seems to be calling the main python file from its location. Is it supposed to open up that command window for a second? I suspect if that command window is the "Python Thread" in question.

Edit_2:

For all the future new explorers or python:

If you are using Python Tools for Visual Studios, you might want to build your program with Shift+Alt+F5 instead of just F5. This will output in Python interactive window inside VS and it will not display annoying command window popup.


Solution

  • That means the script executed successfully. If the code was anything other than zero, that would indicate an error.

    Yes, that command window is likely the "Python Thread".
