#Textmate python mac
The blurb on the back of the book identifies the target audience as 'Programmers, web designers and anyone else who regularly needs to work with text files on Mac OSX.' After working with TextMate and reading through the book, the target audience is spot on. This book is a primer and reference for TextMate. Solution no.OSXCPA writes "TextMate is a closed-source, GUI-based, extensible text editor that looks and behaves like a mashup of GNU Emacs ("Emacs") and NetBeans. Still, it might work if you do not use or need much of TextMate’s functionality (LaTeX typesetting for example was mentioned as something that totally breaks once you make TextMate use Python 3 instead of Python 2). via answer), but once you do many TextMate commands may well break (because they’re written to use Python 2, and Python 3 is not backwards compatible with Python 2 - for example, the use of reload, which disappeared in Python 3, is repeatedly mentioned in the thread). 3:Īccording to this long thread (which was about Python 3.0, and the TextMate version existing back last spring, but I believe is still valid for Python 3.1 and today’s TextMate), you can get it done (e.g. Late to the party, sorry! I take it you want to run the script using TextMate’s ‘built-in’ interpreter? I’ve found the simplest solution is to add a shebang, which works extremely well #!/usr/bin/env python3įor default system python, although the latter is superfluous for the exercise. (This all seems to work with the most recent vanilla TextMate and its Python bundle: no guarantees about earlier versions or with other Python bundles.) Solution no.

Then you can use a more general shebang line like this: #!/usr/bin/env python3 To get around that, you can add or modify a global PATH shell variable to TextMate -> Preferences (see above) with a value of, say, /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin. However when running under TextMate, your shell profile files are not normally used so any changes to PATH do not show up there including possibly /usr/local/bin or /opt/local/bin or wherever your desired python3 command is located. Traditionally /usr/bin/env is used for that purpose. In many case you would prefer not to hardwire the absolute path but manage use through the normal shell PATH environment variable.

So, instead of modifying TM_PYTHON, you can specify the path to the interpreter to be used by including a first line like this: #!/usr/local/bin/python3.1 The Run command in TextMate‘s Python bundle appears to respect a shebang line in the file being run. There is another approach that may be easier to use for some projects.

To change the Python version used globally within TextMate:įrom the TextMate menu bar, open TextMate -> PreferencesĮnter TM_PYTHON in the Variable field and the full path to the python in the Value field (perhaps /usr/local/bin/python3.1)Īs Alex points out, you may break other TextMate functionality by changing the Python version globally so the per-project change is probably a better solution. For bigger projects, you’ll want to create a separate TextMate project for it anyway. You might want to save a Python 3 project, say, for running ad-hoc scripts under Python 3. Then you can add files as needed to the project and they will be run under the chosen python with TextMate Python bundle’s Run Script command. A Project Information pane appears.Įnter TM_PYTHON in the Variable field and the full path to the desired python in the Value field (for example, /usr/local/bin/python3.1).Ĭlose the Information window and save the Project ( File -> Save Project As). Open a new or existing TextMate Project ( File -> New Project or File -> Open)ĭe-select any file in the project list sidebar.Ĭlick on the Get Info ( i) icon in the sidebar. A good solution is to take advantage of TextMate’s ability to define variables like TM_PYTHON on a per-project basis: TextMate uses the value of the TM_PYTHON variable to find the path to the Python interpreter.
#Textmate python how to
Thanks How to solve this problem? Solution no. How do you configure it to use 3.1 instead? I’ve already installed the 3.1 package and I can use IDLE for interactive sessions, but I need to use TextMate now.

TextMate seems to use the built-in Python version I assume (sys.path doesn’t work).
