Set up a file for user-specific configuration variables

[andpet0101]

Settings that are specific to a users environment often cannot be hard-coded. For example, I always struggle with the python path on my other laptop.

One suggestion would be to use quarto environment files: https://quarto.org/docs/projects/environment.html . For example there would be a file _environment.local that contains:

PYTHONPATH=/to/my/own/python3

This file is part of the repository and a user would need to adjust it accordingly. However we can then set it on the ignore list so that our own settings will not be committed.

What do you think?

Can't we do which python3 and then set it?

This ist how we do it now. Sometimes there are multiple Python Installations and this will not always pick up the correct one.But this is low priority.Am 01.10.2024 18:45 schrieb Rajinder Gupta ***@***.***>: Can't we do which python3 and then set it? —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>
