How do you run a python script from within notepad++?
notepad++, nppexec, python
Solution
Plugins NppExec Execute (F6) is much more powerful than plain Run (F5). Install NppExec via Plugins, Plugin Manager. Then in F6 add/save the following:
NPP_SAVE
cd "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
C:\Python34\python.exe -u "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
In Plugins NppExec Console output filters (Shift+F6) add the following HighLight mask:
*File "%FILE%", line %LINE%
Make sure it's checked, and make it e.g. red and underlined.
Upon "F6/execute" errors will be highlighted and clickable !
This works in NPP568, possibly older.
Problem
When I'm using textmate, I simply hit "apple+r" and the program gets interpreted. How can I run a program from within notepad++? I see that F5 is for "Run", but pointing that to Python.exe simply opens up a terminal with python running. It does not run my script.
