File Not found when running python source file in console (default run button)

[thedbcooper]

Hi all, I cannot run python source files "in console," which is the default run button action. I get the following error:

>>> %run "c:\\Users\\first.last\\Repositories\\main\\2_create_data.py"
C:\Users\first.last\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\IPython\core\magics\execution.py:730: UserWarning: For Windows, use double quotes to wrap a filename: %run "mypath\myfile.py"
  warn('For Windows, use double quotes to wrap a filename: %run "mypath\\myfile.py"')
Exception: File `'\'"c:\\\\Users\\\\first.last\\\\Repositories\\\\main\\\\2_create_data.py"\''` not found.

    719     fpath = arg_lst[0]
--> 720     filename = file_finder(fpath)
    721 except IndexError as e:

Any suggestions for how to fix?

Hello! I am unfortunately currently on OSX so I cannot get a repro case but I have pinged a colleague on Windows and will get back to you soon!

Unfortunately, I also cannot reproduce this on my Windows install. I'm using Positron versino 2025.02.0-171. I tried with both Python 3.10.10 and 3.11. Both worked as expected.

@thedbcooper Can you share a little more information about your system? Could you go to Help->About and copy out that information, then share it here?
