Hello

Could you tell me what version of Python you are using? You can find out by doing python -V.

I just tried your command with both 3.7.3 (Cmd) and 2.7.14 (Cygwin) and both gave me the same result:

Either your Python or prompt configuration has some issue if you can't even get your python version with python -V.

I suggest:

Ensuring you don't have some weird install of python with where python
Trying to run Python using PowerShell instead of CMD
Re-installing Python (https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/), preferably the 3.X branch but 2.x also works with this program

In any case, the lack of output doesn't come from this program, so I'll close this issue.

Not sure what went wrong. But all i had to do was repair it; it all seems to be working accordingly. Thank you for your time
