Python Environment Selection

Description

The Python environment selection feature allows the user to select the Python environment to use for executing the Python code in INI files.

Select the environment by browsing to the directory where it is stored. The user may select a Python virtual environment directory which must have a pyvenv.cfg file in it, or a Python 'base' environment directory which must have a python3.dll file in it. Changes to the Python environment take effect the next time DevWareX is restarted.

Note: For user using a Python virtual environment, it is expected that the “venv” module from the Python standard library is used to create/manage the virtual environments.

And their environment should create with the methods mentioned in the following links,
