I want to set up a complete Python IDE in Sublime Text 2.
I want to know how to run the Python code from within the editor. Is it done using build system? How do I do it ?
Tools -> Build System -> (choose) Python then:
To Run:
Tools -> Build
-or-
Ctrl + B
CMD + B (OSX)
This would start your file in the console which should be at the bottom of the editor.
To Stop:
Ctrl + Break or Tools -> Cancel Build
Fn + C (OSX)
You can find out where your Break
key is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_key.
Note: CTRL + C
will NOT work.
What to do when Ctrl + Break
does not work:
Go to:
Preferences -> Key Bindings - User
and paste the line below:
{"keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "exec", "args": {"kill": true} }
Now, you can use ctrl+shift+c
instead of CTRL+BREAK
To RUN press CtrlB (answer by matiit)
But when CtrlB does not work, Sublime Text probably can't find the Python Interpreter. When trying to run your program, see the log and find the reference to Python in path.
[cmd: [u'python', u'-u', u'C:\\scripts\\test.py']]
[path: ...;C:\Python27 32bit;...]
The point is that it tries to run python via command line, the cmd looks like:
python -u C:\scripts\test.py
If you can't run python from cmd, Sublime Text can't too.
(Try it yourself in cmd, type python in it and run it, python commandline should appear)
You can either change the Sublime Text build formula or the System %PATH%
.
To set your %PATH%
:
*You will need to restart your editor to load new %PATH%
Run Command Line* and enter this command: *needs to be run as administratorSETX /M PATH "%PATH%;<python_folder>"
for example: SETX /M PATH "%PATH%;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts"
OR manually: (preferable)
Add ;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts
at the end of the string.
To set the interpreter's path without messing with System %PATH%
see this answer by ppy.
[ This applies to ST3 (Win), not sure about ST2 ]
To have the output visible in Sublime as another file (+ one for errors), do this:
Tools > Build Systems > New Build System...
{ "cmd": ["python.exe", "$file", "1>", "$file_name.__STDOUT__.txt", "2>", "$file_name.__STDERR__.txt"], "selector": "source.python", "shell": true, "working_dir": "$file_dir" }
Tools > Build Systems > {your_new_build_system_filename}
"file.py"
you'll have "file.__STDOUT__.py"
and "file.__STDERR__.py"
(for errors, if any)In python v3.x you should go to : Tools->Build System->New Build System
.
Then, it pop up the untitled.sublime-build window in sublime text editor.Enter setting as:
{
"cmd": ["path_to_the_python.exe","-u", "$file"],
"file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python"
}
To see the path, Type following in terminal as
:
python
>>> import sys
>>>print(sys.executable)
You can make more than one Build System but it should default save inside Packages of Sublime text with .sublime-build extension.
Then, select the new Build System and press cltr+b
or other based on your os.
Cool U guys, I just found this:
http://ptomato.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/geek-tip-running-python-guis-in-sublime-text-2/
It explains (like one of the answers above) how to edit this exec.py in the default directory.
I had the problem that my PYTHON UI APPLICATION would not start. I commented out the last line from the following snipped:
# Hide the console window on Windows
startupinfo = None
if os.name == "nt":
startupinfo = subprocess.STARTUPINFO()
#startupinfo.dwFlags |= subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW
and, taaadaaaa, I could start my app by pressing Ctrl+B. Funny line anyways, uh? And a big thank you to whoever wrote that article ;-)
I solved this problem :
> Preferences –> Browse Packages –> Default
Open the exec.py
file, near line 41-42, the code should look like this :
for k, v in proc_env.iteritems():
proc_env[k] = os.path.expandvars(v).encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())
then delete it or edit it as :
try:
for k, v in proc_env.iteritems():
proc_env[k] = os.path.expandvars(v).encode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())
except:
print 'foobar'
I ran into the same problem today. And here is how I managed to run python code in Sublime Text 3:
What you need to do next is replace the content in Python.sublime-build
to
{
"cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/python", "-u", "$file"],
"file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python",
}
You can of course further customise it to something that works for you.
One thing to note about the aforementioned build system: you can write (and use) custom .sublime-build
files or even per project build_systems
clause (in your project settings). This allows you to do useful things like a fancy test runner with ANSI colors output.
For even more "full IDE" features, you can use the excellent SublimePythonIDE package:
Disclosure: I've contributed a PR to that package, and I use it all the time, but there are others.
Use a real python console alongside Sublime
Both Sublime's build system and SublimeREPL (the answers above) are limited in that you can't easily interact with the workspace variables after you run your file.
If you want to run a script, then work in a REPL-like fashion (like you would in an IDE), then I recommend having Sublime open alongside an IPython console. Using AutoHotKey (Windows) or AutoKey (Linux), you can set this up such that a single shortcut will copy the filename (or just the selected code) and then paste this in the console to run the file.
