The .PY is a file extension used by the Python programming language which is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language. It is designed to be highly readable, with its use of significant whitespace and indentation to delimit code blocks reducing the complexity otherwise found in many other languages. This interpreted language is used for developing web applications, desktop applications and other software components. The PY files are text documents that contain source code written in Python, formatted using the.py or.pyw extensions.
Python Properties
Python code is organised into logical structures that contain components such as functions, classes and objects. These structures enable readability, scalability and extensibility to suit most application requirements. The compiled and compiled version of Python code run faster than an interpreted language such as JavaScript, however the labour involved to create the compiled program is often more labour intensive than interpreting the source code.
Similar Formats
Other file formats associated with Python include .PYC, .PYO, .PYD and .PYW. These other files are either compiled or compressed versions of the original Python script which can greatly reduce the size of the program and make it easier to read.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PY) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PY extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PY file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PY extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PY extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PY file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PY file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PY file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PY file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PY file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
