Is it possible to open terminal from run box and use ' — ' to run a command to pen a file in some other...












0















What i want to do is to start a terminal session with the python command line interpreter and and further run a python file using the interpreter the python file could located anywhere.



What i mean to say is I have a python file demo.py in /home/one/two/



#demo.py
a=10
print("something")


so that when terminal opens i see the message something followed by the console prompt.



 something 
>>>


My approach:



gnome-terminal --python -i ~/home/one/two/demo.py


this gives me following result



python: can't open file '~/Desktop/pydemo/demo.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory


However when i run the same command from terminal window(not opened in the same directory as the demo.py file ) it works properly.



Can someone please explain what is happening here and if possible suggest a way t0 achieve whatever i mentioned above.
