So, I’m slowly working in some Python 3.0, but I still have a lot of things that rely on 2.5.
But, in Eclipse, every time I change projects between a 3.0 and a 2.5, I need to go through
Project -> Properties -> project type.
Issue 1: if I just switch the interpreter in the drop down box, that doesn’t seem to change anything. I need to click ‘click here to configure an interpreter not listed’, and UP the interpreter I wish to use.
Issue 2: That would be fine if I was switching to 3.0 for every project for the rest of my life, but I still am doing a lot of switching between projects and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. So, I’m just trying to save a few operations.
Is there a way to configure Eclipse so that it remembers which interpreter I want associated with which project?
What if I created an entirely new workspace? Is ‘interpreter’ a property of a workspace?
Also, it doesn’t seem to matter what I choose when I create a new project via File -> New -> Pydev Project. Whatever I last selected through ‘Properties’ is what eclipse is using.
This is Eclipse 3.4.0, running in Windows XP.
You can set the interpreter version on a per-script basis through the Run Configurations menu.
To do this go to Run -> Run Configurations, and then make a new entry under Python Run. Fill in your project name and the main script, and then go to the Interpeter tab and you can pick which interpreter you want to use for that script.
I’ve used this to have Python 2.2, 2.5, and 3.0 projects in the same workspace.
