PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

Hi, I'm running this with Sublime Text 3. I have the package installed and I can see Conda as one of my build options. Everything is basically at the defaults. When I try to build even a very simple python script, I get this in the console:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublimeplugin.py", line 1050, in run return self.run(**args) File "C:\Users\damon\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Installed Packages\Conda.sublime-package\commands.py", line 526, in run File "C:\Users\damon\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Installed Packages\Conda.sublime-package\commands.py", line 489, in enter File "C:\Users\damon\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Installed Packages\Conda.sublime-package\commands.py", line 473, in conda_version File "./python3.3/subprocess.py", line 576, in check_output File "./python3.3/subprocess.py", line 819, in init File "./python3.3/subprocess.py", line 1110, in _execute_child PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

This also happens when I run Sublime Text as an Administrator. Here's the output from "conda info" in an Anaconda Prompt:

Please, I'd love to use this so I can have Sublime Text as my IDE. Spyder is killing me slowly day after day.

Hi @damonbla thanks for the error report. Can you show me what your Conda.sublime-settings file looks like?

[damonbla]

Sure! I changed them so they weren't relative in hopes of solving the problem, but it didn't fix it.

// Default settings for sublime-text-conda:
{
    // executable is the path to anaconda's python
    // this python executable is used in order to find conda
    "executable": "C:\\Users\\damon\\anaconda3",

    // Directory in which the conda envs are stored
    // Default location is the user's home directory
    "environment_directory": "C:\\Users\\damon\\anaconda3\\envs",

    // configuration is the path to conda's configuration file
    "configuration": "C:\\Users\\damon\\.condarc",

    // when true, the scripts will be run through the shell
    // If your code has a GUI (e.g. a matplotlib plot),
    // this needs to be true, otherwise Windows suppresses it.
    "run_through_shell": true,

    // when true, the script execution will be handed over to
    // the pythonw executable, instead of python
    "use_pythonw": false,

}

It looks like your executable line is pointing to a directory instead of a binary. You want to point it to the actual python3 binary within the directory. On Windows I think this would be C:\\Users\\damon\\anaconda3\\python3, but I would check just to make sure.

[damonbla]

That fixed it! Thank you so much. The working line included .exe as well:

"executable": "C:\\Users\\damon\\anaconda3\\python.exe"

[mandeep]

Awesome! Glad it worked :)

[mandeep]

I'm reopening this issue as I realized that Conda (Windows).sublime-settings shows the executable path as ~\\Anaconda3\\python without the .exe suffix. This is probably confusing so I think the exe extension should be added.
