pyscripter

PyScripter always says: "Python could not be properly initialized. We must quit."

I've googled for a solution, and based on that, let me report a few details:

I've tried 32-bit PyScripter-v2.6.0-Setup.exe with 32-bit python-3.6.1.exe; and 64-bit PyScripter-v2.6.0-x64-Setup.exe with 64-bit python-3.6.1-amd64-webinstall.exe.

I'm on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine.

I uninstalled other versions of Python on the machine.

Tried unzipping rpyc in the \Lib\ folder, as someone suggested that here.

What else should I be looking at?

Solution

  • Here is a tested Solution

    1. Remove old PyScripter
    2. Install Python from Python website. I installed mine from: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.2/python-3.3.2.amd64.msi (and it worked)
    3. Now install PyScripter-v2.6.0-x64-Setup.exe from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pyscripter/files/

    This should solve the problem.
