Split Drive Setup

Hi,
I’m using a new 64bit windows11 platform to install python 3.11.3 which I download from the official Python site.
I ran the setup programme on my system pc disk C:\ , but changed the location for the bulk of the python files to an external usb HDD to (P:\python\python_3_11_3) , so as not to use a large amount of space on my system drive & have a portable python facility on the USB HDD.
The installation completed without any errors and placed an icon on my pc to launch the python command window , which works.
I created a one line test script on the pc (print (“hello python !!”) with a ‘py’ file type label and then double clicked that file but nothing happened .?
Can anyone help to solve this problem or indicate other things I need to done, or should have done ? , on my PC or my external HDD
