Set up environment variables for spyder launcher

[Petrus Hyvönen]

Hi,

Is there a way to set up environment variables for the spyder and ipython launchers? I have created scripts that does this as in the 'scripts' directory but windows does not handle these .bat files as well as the .exe file (no icon, not placeable on taskbar etc). 

Is it possible to get these launchers to execute a 'scripts/env.bat' before spyder/ipython?

Many thanks

Hi,

Currently it's not possible (using scripts is the only way).

But in the next releases (2.7.5.1, 3.3.2.1), the user will be able to override PATH, PYTHONPATH and PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables using the new "winpython.ini" settings file (located in "settings" directory):

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

If possible I would appriciate to be able to set other environment variables as well. For example, I am using some integration of java libraries (through the JCC python wrapper) and needs to set some paths for it. Today I do that stuff in a special start script, but then some of the advanages of the launchers disappear (like being able to put them in the taskbar). To keep it portable between machines I keep away from the system environment variables.

Many thanks for the great work btw..

That is done:

So you will be able to define as many environment variables as you want...!

Hi,

I started to try to configure my setup using the new winpython.ini feature. I got some question, mainly related to how these path's are evaluated.

- How do I append to an existing environment variable (like PATH)? 

- Can I access the previous %WINPYDIR% variable to setup path relative to current folder?

Best Regards

PATH in winpython.ini replaces system environment variable PATH.
I also wonder:
- Is it possible to append PATH from winpython.ini to existing environment variable PATH?
