无法配置 emacs 使用 python3

Question

I am using emacs 25.2.2 on ubuntu 18.04. I would like to use python3 in emacs; however it comes with python 2.7 and I can't find how to reconfigure. The answer 1 which says to use Mx customize-variable RET python-shell-interpreter RET doesn't work for me, python-shell-interpreter isn't found.

Any thoughts? Thanks - Len

Answer 1

Could you check if you've installed and enabled Elpy ? As suggested on their README, you can achieve this by including the following somewhere in your emacs configuration

(use-package elpy
  :ensure t
  :init
  (elpy-enable))

This should allow you to set the python-shell-interpreter variable. Hope this helps!
