python-tools Was Unable to Find the Python Executable

[barmanroys]

Using Atom Editor on Linux Mint 20.

The python version is 3.6 installed at /usr/bin/python3.

But whenever I installed the python-tools package, it is throwing the above error. A bit of online search suggests it is common, although most of the solutions seem to apply to windows machine. I have already tried setting the path to to python directory inside the package setting, but no luck. Also, my PATH environment variable already contains /usr/bin

So what's the way out?

Same issue here.

• Linux Mint 20.1
• /usr/bin/python3 -> python3.8
• env variable set and works
