Setting Sublime text with Python 3.8.2

#1

Hi everyone! Can you please help me with this problem? I have downloaded Python 3.8.2 (added to the Path) and then proceeded to download Sublime Text 3.

Before starting, I saved a new file hello_world.py, then I went to Tools>Build System>Python. Unfortunately, after typing print(“hello_world”), when I try to run in the folder I can’t see anything except for [Finished in 3.5s].

I know that I should go to Tools>Build System>New Build System, but basically I have no idea what ti type in since I am a beginner.

Thanks a lot!

You will need Tools -> Build System -> New Build System only when you want to run some kind of external program or want to compile/interpret some language whose build system is not already shipped by Sublime.

As for the failing build :-

  1. Did you save the file before running the build system ?
  2. Are you running the build system from the currently open file ?

Maybe a screenshot (or a GIF) will also help as will any other details you can spare (OS, ST version etc)

As a note, the Python.sublime-build file that ships with Sublime contains a variant named Syntax Check. If you pick that variant, all it does it compile your code but not run it. So you may want to use Tools > Build With... while editing a Python file and choose the plain Python build and see if that works better.

Guess you meant Setting Sublime text with Python 3.8.2 in the title instead Setting Sublime text with Python 3.2.8, right? :slight_smile:

FWIW, did you change the syntax of the file to Python when you saved it?

Yes, my bad! Thank you for the correction!

Yeah, I just followed the instruction from the book that I am reading: I created a folder python_work and then, once I opened the editor, I saved the file as hello world.py.

Thank you for your answer!

Thank you so much for your answer! So, yeah I saved the file before running the build system and then I run it from the open file. I’ll send you the screenshot.
