Hi,

There could be several reasons why Python isn't opening on your Windows 7 notebook.

Here are a few common issues and solutions:

• The latest version of Python might not be fully compatible with Windows 7. You could try installing an older version of Python that is known to work well with Windows 7.
• If the Python executable isn't added to your system's PATH, Windows won't be able to find it. You can add Python to your PATH by following these steps:
  • Right-click on "Computer" and select "Properties".
  • Click on "Advanced system settings".
  • Click on "Environment Variables".
  • Find the "Path" variable in the "System variables" section and click "Edit".
  • Add the path to your Python installation directory (e.g., C:\Python39) to the list, separated by a semicolon.
• There might have been an issue during the installation process. Try uninstalling Python and then reinstalling it. Make sure to run the installer as an administrator.
• Some Python packages or dependencies might not be installed correctly. You can try running the following command in the Command Prompt to check for and install missing dependencies:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

• Sometimes, running the program with administrator privileges can resolve the issue. Right-click on the Python executable and select "Run as administrator".

If none of these solutions work, please let me know, and we can try some more specific troubleshooting steps!
