For building PyCall and other integrations to Python, need to set:
let user_data_dir
ENV["PATH"] =
JULIA_HOME*";"*joinpath(JULIA_HOME,"..","Git","bin")*";"*ENV["PATH"]
#haskey(ENV,"JULIA_EDITOR") || (ENV["JULIA_EDITOR"] = "start") #start
is not a program, so this doesn't work
ENV["PYTHON"] = "C:\\Program Files
(x86)\\WinPython-32bit-2.7.9.5\\python-2.7.9\\python.exe"
end
EXACTLY what must the path in ENV["PYTHON"] point to? Please don't
recommend conda, ok? I have 2 installs to Python already with lots of
packages, including Matplotlib and Numpy. Don't want to manage yet another.
Should the path point to the python executable? It's dll? Or to the
directory that contains the python executable. PyCall documentation is
rather vague on the point: If you want to use a different version of
Python on your system, you can change the Python version by setting the
PYTHON environment variable and then re-running Pkg.build("PyCall"). In
Julia:
ENV["PYTHON"] = "... path of the python program you want ..."
Pkg.build("PyCall")
That's a little bit too loose. Path directly to the exe or to the folder
containing the exe. I've tried both and neither
see to work.
