#!s in spotipy-tests are platform dependent #2

Open manalili18 opened 4 years ago

This is a minor issue/inconvenience. The path that I use for a spotipy-enabled python is platform dependent right now. (It's located at /Users/pmanalil//anaconda3/python) I think this is a side effect of the pip installer.

This could also be an issue with anaconda. the system tends to look in default python locations even when using the conda environment.

Yes, that's exactly what happens. Do you know if there is a way to install python packages to /usr/bin/python instead? I would like to be able to run the scripts with a ./script.py instead of calling the whole python3 script.py

The problem I see there is needing root privileges to access packages. Installing pip within a conda environment (which is stored in home directory) works fine for me.

$ conda create <env_name> Create env $ conda activate <env_name> Activate (env_name)$ conda install pip Install pip within env (env_name)$ ~/anaconda3/envs/env_name/bin/pip install <package> install packages with pip (env_name)$ conda install <package> install packages with conda

Pip and other packages will need to be reinstalled for every new environment.

What are the advantages of using ./script.py instead of python3 script.py?

I have muscle memory for !. and not !p lol Other than that, not too much. It behaves nearly identically.
