When typing the same line in Notepad the correct double quotation character
is used,
print("Hello Python World")
I can now open the file using Geany and execute it correctly

The cause of the SyntaxError is clearly demonstrated by opening the file
that was created using Notepad, which is the first line below. The second
line is typed in Geany and clearly show a different Character used for the
double qutation mark

How do I set up Geany correctly to avoid this Error?

It sounds like this Issue:

If you can add some info there it might help to diagnose.
