Can i make my python file run from cmd without giving the path?

Is there a way to save my python file in my cmd such a way that i can run it from anywhere like a command. I mean i will type only myfilename.py without path address and it will run on cmd

Not really, unless you set the current directory to the file that has your folder. From there you can just use myfilename.py

In Linux, you can make your file executable and add the directory to your environment variables. I can't tell exactly how to do it from memory, but it works

On Windows you can add the directory to the environment with: setx path "%path%;c:\DirWhereYourFileIs" then you shuld be able to call your file directly from cmd without including its path
