I'm using PyScripter for writing python programs and I can't figure out how to make it work with Python26 on my computer. When I installed ArcGIS, by default it installs Python26. I then installed PyScripter which found that installation and it worked fine. Later, I installed Python27, and subsequently reinstalled PyScripter.Now Pyscripter uses Python27 and I don't know how to change it.
I've looked at the settings under Tools -> PythonPath
and they are as follows:
and also Tools -> Configure Tools
I assume I need to change the python path entries, but what do I change them to? My Python26 installation is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Bin.
PyScripter supports Python versions 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 3.0 and 3.1.
As a standard, it is recommended to use the python3 command or python3. 7 to select a specific version. The py.exe launcher will automatically select the most recent version of Python you've installed. You can also use commands like py -3.7 to select a particular version, or py --list to see which versions can be used.
The default Python interpreter is referenced on Windows using the command py. Using the Command Prompt, you can use the -V option to print out the version. You can also specify the version of Python you'd like to run. For Windows, you can just provide an option like -2.7 to run version 2.7.
If you wish to use multiple versions of Python on a single machine, then pyenv is a commonly used tool to install and switch between versions. This is not to be confused with the previously mentioned depreciated pyvenv script. It does not come bundled with Python and must be installed separately.
If you go to the pyScripter folder in the start menu, it will have a version of pyScripter for Python 2.4 to 3.2. Just run the one corresponding to your Python version.
go to the pyscripter shortcut : right click then select Properties,
add the option to the target : --PYTHONXX
wherein XX the Python
version.
ex : "C:\Program Files\PyScripter\PyScripter.exe" --PYTHON24
Copy/paste another shortcut and modify the option to another python version.
Easiest way to change the python version in PyScripter is:
Run->Python Version-> Setup Python Versions->Add New Python Version-> Browse to your python exe and select ok.-> Click on Activate Selected Python Version..
Now restart your PyScriptor and your are good to go.
