Anaconda, ST3, and WSL python?

[skjbulcher]

Is there a way to use WSL's python when configuring the python_enterpreter option? I'm using this for my .anaconda file,

{
  "python_interpreter": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe -c /usr/bin/python",
}

but Sublime Text 3 tells me:

I never used WSL myself but I believe you should just remove all the bash.exe stuff and just leave the path to the python interpreter, try and share the results.

Thanks for the answer DW.

From what I know about WSL your suggestion wouldn't work work; /usr/bin/python isn't a valid Windows path. Even if it was, I doubt the linux python executable is binary compatible with Windows. Nevertheless I did try it, and received the same dialogue box.

With WSL, typing the above command in a Run dialogue prompt will leave you with a python command prompt. My thinking was this would be enough to work. It sounds like there is no support for WSL then?

Maybe a BAT file (or whatever is used nowadays in Windows) would work? Honestly I don't know, I don't use Windows.

While I am necro-ing this thread, I believe will help other with the same issue: On windows, define the python interpreter as such:

{
        "python_interpreter": "wsl \\\\wsl$\\<distro>\\<path-to-env>\\bin\\python",
}

and replace <distro> / <path-to-env> with your local settings. This ensures interoperability btw. the windows host and the wsl2 environment, and you can set this on a per-project basis (good if project use different python environments).

Hi @0kto , which version of anaconda do you use? The above setting does not work for me. It shows that anaconda cannot spawn a process using the given python interpreter.
