I have python installed on my system, yet it does not seem to appear in my compiler options when the language python is enabled. The only options I get for python are blank and not compiled. The ‘python’ keyword runs in my terminal, and gnatstudio is being launched from that same terminal, so I am at a loss here.
When I manually input ‘python’ it saves, so that means it is found in the PATH.
But then when I try to compile a simple main.py, I get “there are no sources of language “Python“ in this project, and “language unknown for main.py”
I don’t know if this is a me problem or a GNAT Studio problem, please help.
What do you expect from GNAT Studio? Python is not a compilable language. At best you can precompile modules, e.g. to produce a *.pyc file. There is no way you could build an executable or a library, not in a traditional way.
Well that explains it. I kept assuming it compiled, and ran around chasing my tail. I was trying to tie the run button to run my python main.py. Now knowing my embarrassing blunder, all I had to do to get what I wanted was to change the build/run option to a run option in settings with “python src/main.py“ and that accomplishes what I was after.
