editra-plugins - issue #223

Unable to use a system installed python interpreter


Posted on Apr 18, 2013 by Massive Bear

What Plugin does this relate to? What version of the Plugin? PyShell 0.8

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to import modules from the system python will fail

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I was expecting to be able to import modules that are installed and available from the system installed python.

What version of Editra are you using? On what operating system? 0.7.20 on Windows

The shell python executable should be configurable.

PyShell is a very basic simple shell gui that runs in process with the Editra process using the python it is running on.

So, if you want to use your system python in PyShell you need to use a source installed version of Editra (i.e not Editra.exe).

Don't have any plans to extend PyShell but will accept patches that implement extensions or if anyone wants to take ownership of it.
