Question

I just started using Sublime Text 2 and was wondering, to sort of make it a full featured python IDE, if there was a way to change the integrated python interpreter to target the system python install rather than the one that came with Sublime. The reason is because I would like to use my python libraries that I have on my computer with the python interpreter.

I am aware of running python code in sublime using my version of python as explicitly shown here: How do I run Python code from Sublime Text 2?

However, this does not change the version of the python interpreter that you are running.

Any ideas?

Tools > Build System > New Build System. Insert the file and with your python version:

{
  "cmd": ["python3", "-u", "$file"],
  "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
  "selector": "source.python"
}
