Error while loading PyV8 binary

#1

It is my first time using Sublime Text. I am Polymmer developer and I trying Sublime Text since I saw several people using this IDE. Wheneve I open Sublime I get a message (same error mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23456691/pyv8-issue-sublime-text3). Do I really need PyV8 pluging? What is the purpose of that? Is it possible to turn thie loading off in case it is not obligated for my case (Polymmer Developer)? If I install it manually, what will add so far? I am using Windows in case it matter.

PyV8 is a dependency package which contains the javascript runtime environment. It’s used by Emmet which is implemented in :-/ JavaScript rather than Sublime Text’s native scripting language python.

With other words, it is needed only for Emmet.

And is there someway to turn off such loading? I understand I don’t need Emmet for my daily work (I am Polymmer/Angular developer)

The PyV8 binaries are loaded by emmet itself. They are not handled by Package Control.

Even after removing emmet, you need to look for PyV8 folders in Data/Packages/ and Data/Installed Packages/ and remove them manually.

But as soon as Emmet is active it tries to download them again.

Forever - remove it? -> Select Package Control: Remove Package from command palette and choose Emmet to uninstall it (in case you installed it via Package Control)
