How to specify the path for Building with Python?

#1

hello,

I’m using Sublime Text 3 in macOS. By default Python 2.7 is installed in macOS, but I installed Python 3.6 via Homebrew. How can I tell Sublime Text to use this more recent version of Python for the Building System?

It is installed in this default Homebrew path: /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.1

Thank you in advance,

Tirs

Do you know how to run python from a terminal? I’m guessing python 3 is installed as python3.

So, you want to edit the sublime build system that is used to execute your files.

You can use PackageResourceViewer to do so.

Thank you for the answer.

I edited the build settings for Python, to use python3 as shell command, so my python build settings look like this:

{
“shell_cmd”: “python3 -u “$file””,
“file_regex”: “^[ ]File "(…?)”, line ([0-9]*)",
“selector”: “source.python”,

"env": {"PYTHONIOENCODING": "utf-8"},

"variants":
[
	{
		"name": "Syntax Check",
		"shell_cmd": "python3 -m py_compile \"${file}\"",
	}
]

}

However when I try to run with this a python script with the ASE package it yields this errors:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘ase’
[Finished in 0.0s with exit code 1]
[shell_cmd: python3 -u “/Users/tirso/SeqCuox/Calculations/CuO_slab111.py”]
[dir: /Users/tirso/SeqCuox/Calculations]
[path: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin]

However, if I run in terminal the command: python3 -u “/Users/tirso/SeqCuox/Calculations/CuO_slab111.py”, it runs perfectly fine.
