[RESOLVED] Python file views as text file Follow
Hello,
In PyCharm I created a text file named 'name_file'. But I wanted a python file. Then I renamed it as 'name_file.py'.
Now Pycharm see always it as text file.
Even with the py extension, the icon near the name file is a text file icon, not a python icon.
If I delete the file and I create it again it's the same. It's impossible to have a python file with this name : 'name_file.py'.
I have deleted the pycharm project configuration, and I import again the project in pycharm : it's the same think.
In Visual Studio Code, it's ok.
How to resolve this?
Thanks.
See you soon.

Hello,
Please check the file types associations settings https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-and-registering-file-types.html for the text file type, there might be a pattern ``name_file`` added.
Hi,
Thanks for your suggest. But it's not the issue.
The Pycharm text parameter is *.txt.
The file name 'name_file.py' has not been inserted here.
Sorry.
See you soon.
Please attach a screenshot of file types associations settings for the txt format.
Starting the IDE with default settings as described here https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-project-and-ide-settings.html#restore-defaults might do the trick.
Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I restart the IDE with default settings and now it's ok.
But now, I must do a new configuration of the ide. It's a pity!
Good day to you.
I managed to solve this without having to reset to default settings.

You probably have your .py file there. Remove it from the list and editor will see it now as a Python file.
