Changing PyScripter to work with different Python

Question

I'm using PyScripter for writing python programs and I can't figure out how to make it work with Python26 on my computer. When I installed ArcGIS, by default it installs Python26. I then installed PyScripter which found that installation and it worked fine. Later, I installed Python27, and subsequently reinstalled PyScripter.Now Pyscripter uses Python27 and I don't know how to change it.

I've looked at the settings under Tools -> PythonPath and they are as follows:

and also Tools -> Configure Tools

I assume I need to change the python path entries, but what do I change them to? My Python26 installation is found in C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\Bin.

Answer 1

If you go to the pyScripter folder in the start menu, it will have a version of pyScripter for Python 2.4 to 3.2. Just run the one corresponding to your Python version.

Answer 2

go to the pyscripter shortcut : right click then select Properties, add the option to the target : --PYTHONXX wherein XX the Python version.

ex : "C:\Program Files\PyScripter\PyScripter.exe" --PYTHON24

Copy/paste another shortcut and modify the option to another python version.
