What happens if you run your script from the command line? I suspect it will just return the same as it does in Geany. Geany runs things exactly as if from the command line, so if your script doesn't run there it won't run in Geany.
The other IDE is a specialist Python thingy which may be doing something different, possibly helpful for beginners, but not so helpful when you actually want your script to run as a separate program independent of the IDE.

Hello all!
I have a problem on the Raspberry Pi where Geany will not show the Tkinter window when I am making a simple Python app with tkinter graphics.
I tried asking on Stack Exchange but no luck… I am sorry that I will just paste the question below, it’s the easiest way to be clear about it!
======
My problem: When I run my simple graphics tkinter python script (pasted below) in Geany, it "runs" ... BUT it simply shows the white-text-on-black script window proudly announcing that script completed... while the tkinter graphics window created by the script does not appear! *** When I do this in another IDE, Thonny, the graphics window appears. How do I get Geany to show this script's graphics window correctly? THANKS!
—— below is the code (from a learn-Python book)
from Tkinter import *
window = Tk() window.title('Alien') c = Canvas(window, height = 300, width=400) c.pack() body=c.create_oval(100,150,300,250,fill='green') eye=c.create_oval(170,70,230,130,fill='white') eyeball=c.create_oval(190,90,210,110,fill='black') mouth=c.create_oval(150,220,250,240,fill='red') neck=c.create_line(200,150,200,130) hat=c.create_polygon(180,75,220,75,200,20,fill='blue')
def mouth_open(): c.itemconfig(mouth,fill='black') def mouth_close(): c.itemconfig(mouth,fill='red')
def blink(event): c.itemconfig(eye, fill='green') c.itemconfig(eyeball, state=HIDDEN) def unblink(event): c.itemconfig(eye, fill='white') c.itemconfig(eyeball, state=NORMAL)
words=c.create_text(200,280,text='I am an alien!') def steal_hat(): c.itemconfig(hat,state=HIDDEN) c.itemconfig(words, text='Give me my hat back!')
window.attributes('-topmost',1)
def burp(event): mouth_open() c.itemconfig(words,text="Burp!") c.bind_all('<Button-1>', burp)
c.bind_all('<KeyPress-a>',blink) c.bind_all('<KeyPress-z>',unblink)
def eye_control(event): key=event.keysym if key=='Up': c.move(eyeball,0,-1) if key=='Down': c.move(eyeball,0,1) if key=='Left': c.move(eyeball,-1,0) if key=='Right': c.move(eyeball,1,0) c.bind_all('<Key>',eye_control)
