How do I select which Python Interpreter to install ? #11

Hi,

Good job on your IDE I really like the look and feel.

I haven't found any option or documentation to explain how to pick which interpreter to use. I use both 2.7 and 3.4. Thanks.

Unless you are running Pcode from source, the current installers are built for 64bit versions of Python 3. 32bit versions may work but i haven't tried that yet. Sorry for the late reply.

I should have been more specific. I have 2 versions of WinPython each uses a self contained interpreter for Python versions 2.7 and 3.4.

Is it possible to select the interpreter from 3.4 directly, as an example? On Nov 30, 2014 11:59 PM, "Amoatey Harrison" notifications@github.com wrote:

From my investigation of WinPython this should be possible. Pcode is designed to fetch the python interpreter from the registry and the standard Python directory so as long as you go to advanced and register the distribution, it should be listed for you to select. You should however note that only Python 3.4 will be listed since that is what Pcode is built to support.

I will say Pcode as an IDE is very attractive and I hope you will add that functionality for power users. There are lots of use cases for selecting between different interpreters specifically because some packages have not been ported to Python 3.

Actually, nope. Pcode is designed to fetch the python interpreter from the registry and the standard Python directory so WinPython won't be listed. Also there is no way for you to manually select the Python interpreter file since the idea is to make the setting up of the IDE as easy as possible. Perhaps this can be added in newer versions of Pcode if it is required in some cases.

Will take that into consideration. You are welcome.
