Hi,  
I’m trying to run a simple python scripts that loads a patient on Slicer.  
If I run the code line by line in the python interactor all goes as espected.  
Instead, if I try to run a script that contains the same lines of code using C:\Users\Marco\Slicer-5.0.3\Slicer.exe --python-script “C:\Users\Marco\Desktop\tirocinio\scripting\_3DSlicer\Dice\_Hausdorff.py” nothing happens.  
What am I doing wrong?  
Thank you for the support.

You could run

```auto
exec(open(r"C:\Users\Marco\Desktop\tirocinio\scripting_3DSlicer\Dice_Hausdorff.py").read())

```

from the Python Interactor.
