# Python Run Settings

Specify settings for running applications on the Run device that you select for a kit in Projects > Build & Run > Run > Run Settings.

The following table summarizes the settings for running Qt for Python applications.

Setting | Value
--- | ---
Python | Path to the Python executable.
Buffered output | Stores the output in a buffer. This improves output performance, but causes delays in output.
Script | Shows the path to the main file of the project that will be run.
Command line arguments | Command-line arguments to pass to the executable.

## Custom Executable Run Configuration

To run some other Python file than `main.py`, create a custom executable run configuration:

1. Select Add > Custom Executable.
2. In the Executable field, specify the path to the Python executable.
3. In the Command line arguments field, select the Python file to run.
