Python - PyScriptor - Loop

Hi there,

I am new to Python.

While running : PyScripter.exe --PYTHON27

I've made the following mistake. I did the following while loop:

x=0
while (x<5):
print x
x = 1 + 1

And therefore, I am getting a endless loop, running at the speed of light!

Without pressing the stop button, I closed PyScriptor.

Now, I cannot open pyscriptor with the following switch: PyScripter.exe" --PYTHON27

Actually, when I start PyScripter.exe" --PYTHON27, it takes 25% of my processor and never opens, as if it automatically starts that loop again, but I have no stop button.

I restarted my computer; same problem.

Please note that I can successfully run "PyScriptor.exe" without switches; which its interpreter uses Python v3.4.3.

Maybe my understanding of this issue is wrong.

Can you please help?

Thanks,
Rene

Hi Mark,

As you can see in my loop, it's an enless loop with not much instructions.

Is it possible that it somehow non-stop loops somewhere when I start PyScripter?

I un-installed, rebooted and re-installed the software.

The problem is still the same :(

Do you have any other ideas?

Cheers

try

x = x +1 instead of x = 1+1

x = 1+1 will be always 2 which will never be greater or equal to 5.

Hey Walter,

Thanks for contributing.

My question is not about the formula itself.

Because I had a synaptic lapse of judgement, I put "1" instead of "x".

Like you said, it will never reach 5 and therefore, endlessy loop.

My problem here, is that since then, I an unable to run PyScripter.exe --PYTHON27

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rene

My bad. I didn't notice you had x=1+1 sorry

@Mark
No worries :)

@Walter:
Did all that! Still same issue. I guess I'll stop wasting our time on this and just use PyCharm for practicing Python v2.7

Thanks and cheers,
Rene
