Python launcher opens its preferences and no terminal or Tkinter application opens. It appears as something was launched because for a fraction of a second, I see a window and then the icon glides back to its position on the desktop.

However, python files and Tkinter GUIs work when run through the IDLE and through other text editors, e.g. when I build the program in sublime text, the python launcher application opens and launches the Tkinter window.

Even the simplest of programs don't work. I tried opening this:
number = input("Type in a number:")

I ran this outside of the text editor(dragging the .py file onto the python launcher) and it still did not work.
