1. Go to Sublime Text to: Tools -> Build System -> New Build System
and put the next lines:
{
"cmd": ["python3", "-i", "-u", "$file"],
"file_regex": "^[ ]File \"(...?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python"
}
Then save it with a meaningful name like: python3.sublime-build

Hi

I am trying this in Linux (LXLE), and get the following error message when trying the print(sys.version) command:

/usr/bin/python3: can't find 'main' module in ''
[Finished in 0.3s with exit code 1]
[cmd: ['python3', '-u', '']]
[dir: /opt/sublime_text]
[path:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin]

I would be really grateful if anyone could help me correct this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Thanks for the response; i should have posted the code that gave rise to the error - apologies.

I think I had the right line - this is the file that resulted in the error:

{
"cmd": ["python3", "-u", "$file"],
"file_regex": "^[ ]File "usr/bin/python3", line ([0-9])*)",
"selector": "source.python"
}

Can I ask you to let me know what I am doing wrong?

Have you saved the file before you tried to run it?

I did, I saved it in the directory that I was prompted to save into.

Thank you for this sharing, although I don't understand the Regex, I saw other blogs write the same thing so I give it a try. Now the Command + B will build my .py file with python3 command. Thank you so much.

actually after I installed the Anaconda package a new option popped up, its called "Anaconda Python Builder" which works fine on my Python 3 files without any changes, of course my default python_interpreter is python3

{
"name": "Anaconda Python Builder",
"shell_cmd": ""${python_interpreter}" -u "$file"",
"file_regex": "^[ ]File "(...?)", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python"
}

Am trying to use Sublime Text 3 (Build3211) with Python 3.9.0 on Windows 10.

Have downloaded both successfully and

  1. Gone to Sublime Text to: Tools -> Build System -> New Build System
    and put the next lines:

{
"cmd": ["python3", "-u", "$file"],
"file_regex": "^[ ]File "(...?)", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python"
}

Then saved it with a meaningful name like: python3.sublime-build

But when I write a program like:

print("Help") and run under Sublime Text to Tools Python 3, I get the following message:

Python was not found but can be installed from the Microsoft Store: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?linkID=2082640[Finished in 0.3s]

Am just beginning to learn how to code... PLEASE HELP!

Did you install Python?
Go to the https://www.python.org/downloads/
Download and install (when it will ask you to include the path to Python to the PATH environment variable you should agree).

Open cmd and input python...

Also Windows has no 'python3', only 'python' - the command you use to get the Python's shell.

Any idea how to fix this?

Try this code:

"selector": "source.python"

Well, you've probably figured this out already in the last 4 1/2 years lol, but in case anyone else needs an answer- The package to install is Terminus.
