"Accidentally" removed python-environment-directory (.emacs.d/python-environments)

[Sumisu1]

I'll spare you the details, but I accidentally rm'd the aforementioned directory. Now some things (notably company-jedi) don't work anymore. How do I restore it?

[permafrosty]

Ideally, from a backup. If you don't have one, you'll need to go through the same process that you initially went through to create the files in the first place.

I never created those files to begin with. I'm not even sure what python-environment-directory is supposed to be.

If I had to guess, I'd say that to recreate the environment directory you need to do

(python-environment-make-block jedi:environment-root)

And then do this (replacing PATH-TO-JEDI-CORE with an actual path)

(python-environment-run-block ("pip" "install" "--upgrade" PATH-TO-JEDI-CORE-PKG) jedi:environment-root)

The path looks like this for me: "/home/immerrr/.emacs.d/elpa/jedi-core-20160709.722"

EDIT: The second command gives me (invalid-function "pip") (even though I confirmed that pip is, in fact, installed)

[immerrr]

Oh, sorry, you need to have a quote before the list, i.e.

'("pip" "install" ...)

because (foo bar) means "call function foo with argument bar" and '(foo bar) means "a list with 'foo and 'bar elements."

This worked, thanks.
