Remote python libraries with Sublime Text 3

Question

I am working with a virtual machine through Vagrant, and would like my ST3 editor to recognize the python libraries that are installed in the virtual machine (not in my host). With this, I could use the ST3 plugins like autocompletion or linters, according to the libraries I'm actually using in the virtual machine, and not those installed in my computer (host).

I read this thread but I don't think it is the same problem we are facing here, because it's not a matter of interpreter I guess, but rather a problem of which path is used for looking for libraries. The problem would be the same if we consider virtual environments under the project root.

Answer 1

Yes it can, through some plugins. For instance, the anaconda plugin for sublime text can do this through a project file setting. I believe the same can be done for REPLs by pointing your project's python_interpreter_path to a remote interpreter through ssh, although I haven't tried this personally.
