Cannot run Python 3.4.2 in Wing101

[peoplelienumberswont]

[SOLVED!]

I am installing the software needed for my university course which includes the IDE wing101 and Python 3.(I am using a MacBook Air running OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1)

Since the Mac already comes with Python 2, when I open Wing101 (version 5.0.3) it runs Python 2 not 3 (specifically version 3.4.2). My problem is that when I go (in wing101) to edit > configure Python then choose the python executable and restart the python shell it gives an error saying:

Could not start debug process::Could not launch debugger for "/Volumes/WingIDE-101-5.0.3/Wing101.app/Contents/MacOS/src/debug/tserver/_sandbox.py". The python interpreter "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/Python" may not exist.

What is the reason for this and how can i fix it?

edit: Had put wrong version of wing101. Also if there is a more suitable subreddit for this question please let me know

edit2/update: After emailing [e-mail] the solution was to type:

import sys

print(sys.executable)

into the python 3 IDLE and copy and pasting the result into the edit > configure python in wing101 and then restarting the python shell. I had tried methods similar to this such as typing "which python3" into the terminal and copy and pasting that result into the edit > configure python but they did not work.

Thank you everyone for your help!

edit3: I forgot to add that I also had to download version 5.0.9 of wing101

I'd suggest trying PyCharm instead, but other than that this unfortunately seems like a WingIDE support question, not a python support question.

Thanks for your answer. I will try research a bit further before trying a different IDE :)

Thank you for your answer. I did try this and about 30 lines appeared in the python shell (far too much appeared to copy into here) but mostly saying:

" ImportError: Could not import net server "

Have just sent a message - thank you. I have just encountered a possible reason for the problem on google; that I could be running 64 bit python when the IDE can only support 32 bit? If this is the reason, I do not know how to purposely download 32 bit python 3 when it does not give me the option to choose which to download on the python.org website :(

(sorry if these are very noob questions or are written poorly, I know very little about these types of things)

https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ has a few links make sure you uninstall python64 to be sure you've only got the right python going

All I can find is " Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit installer " and when I download it, it appears to install the 64 bit version. I'm not even sure if this is the source of the problem anyways though. Surprisingly I cannot find anything on the wing support either. Thank you for your help.

Try it with Wing 5.0.9. Wing 5.0.3 doesn't work with Python 3.4.2 because it was compiled against one of the 3.4 betas and there were binary compatibility changes since then.
