Have you heard of NppExec?

See esp. Running Python & wxPython

ok I just found the cmd prompt equivalent:
cmd /K set /p additional_args=Enter additional command line arguments for Python: && call python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" %additional_args%

Never heard of it, thanks for the tip! I'm trying to figure out now how I can execute the python program, leave the terminanl open, and press a hotkey to run it again without having to close it and reopen it.

Now if I've ran the python program it stays open. If I run it again it says that the termial is already open and I need to close it
Right now it looks like this when I press the hotkey to run it again:

The only other thing is that it doesn't take focus. Like with my command put into run, the new powershell or cmd prompt always takes focus and if you type it goes into it by default. I'm going to try and work my way around this, looks promising!

EDIT: I can now get it to exit python and be ready for the next run! Here is how with the command:
cmd /K set /p additional_args=Enter additional command line arguments for Python: && call python "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" %additional_args% && exit

Now only to make the terminanl take focus when I execute

Hello Chris,

this is what I have now.

This issue should be closed. The Run dialog and the NppExec plugin (either/or) give sufficient functionality.
Nothing further needs to be changed about Notepad++ for support for running command line programs.
