Setting Python Path on Win 10

[alperyazar]

Hi there,

Thanks for this fantastic plugin. I am experimenting with it on Win 10. I can't use Dependencies Viewer because it can't find Python. I have installed Python 3.9.2 and it's on the path, i.e. I can run python on cmd or PowerShell. I also tried to manually enter the path in extension settings but i didn't work. If I have to enter the path manually, how should I enter the python path, C:\Python\python.exe or C:\\Python\\python.exe (with escaping), etc.?

Thank you.

My mistake, C:\\Python\\python.exe works. I had typo in the settings and noticed after opening the issue. It still doesn't work even python is in the path and explicit set is required but double \ does the trick.

The issue can be closed if it is OK for developers.

@alperyazar Thanks for the feedback and thanks for the workaround! I left the issue open because the "trick" shouldn't be necessary. It happens in windows only.

@smgl9 I agree, thank you!

Hi, Sorry for the late response. I don't have access to the machine right now but as far as I remember, yes, like C:\\Python\\python.exe

I also encountered the same problem. The python setting is invalid under win10.

We are working in the new version to fix the Windows issues.

hi I have the same issue under win10, double / does not work.

[qarlosalberto]

Have you triend double \ ?

[ziyangd]

yes I tried double \ and python is in my path. So where could be the problem?

[mlogelect]

Same problem here, i have python in my path and i have installed everything, but this is what i get

[qarlosalberto]

@mlogelect open from cmd the python console. Type "import vunit", does it work?

[qarlosalberto]

Other option: pen from cmd the python console. Type help("modules"), can you see "VUnit"? Sometimes Windows install the package in different Python3 paths. Make sure that you are using the correct Python3 path.

[mlogelect]

I tried and couldn't see the vunit. So i re-installed python3 and searched the path in command line again. This time it shows me a different path than before. Now everything works, thank you!

Cool! I don't use Windows, so it's more difficult for me test it...
