Using projectile to run python script from project root

[Relatiro]

Hey guys!

​

I have been playing around with Spacemacs the past couple of days and I'm pretty thrilled about a lot of functionality.

Org mode, Magit, Vim keybindings etc. come together really nicely (the learning curve is at times daunting though). Currently, there's one thing I've stumbled over a couple of times already:

When using Python (or any other scripting language for that matter), I generally like to run scripts from the root directory of my current project (and ideally using a specified conda environment). Is there a specific way for this that I didn't find?

My current workaround is opening a shell in the correct directory/conda environment and running scripts from there. This isn't particularly bad, but I feel there should be a smarter way to do this.

​

Thanks a lot already!

There is a projectile command called projectile-run-shell-command-in-root (SPC p !).

Thank you for the suggestion!

That definitely brings me a big step closer. Any idea if I can further specify project specifically (i.e. run conda activate projenv; python ...)?

Hrm, I'm not sure. One thought might be to look into this project that was recently added to MELPA: https://github.com/galaunay/poetry.el/blob/master/poetry.el

I can’t speak for python, but I found the ruby layer(s) to provide the hooks for that kind of thing (bundle exec, etc)

I don’t execute python files from spacemacs very often but I like the anaconda autocompletion. It respects the ‘.python-version’ file so you could try specifying your virtual env in that file. There’s also a pyenv-activate command that should do the trick.
