Issue

Hi, on Atom startup I get these errors:

  • Error: spawn python ENOENT
  • Python tools can't find the executable, even though the directory in python-tools settings = /usr/bin/python3, and that file works with no problems from a terminal.

What I tried, and doesn't work

  • Setting the above path in the settings.
  • Setting the same path to python3.x, with 'x' being the other versions installed, and they don't work even better :)
  • sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python{3,}, as stated here. Even though the python3 executable was already a link with lrwxrwxrwx.
  • Restarting Atom
  • Restarting my computer
  • Installing a flatpak version of Atom, as well as a deb version.

What I am using

  • Atom (deb) 1.60.0 x64 on Linux.

Any ideas??
