I'm trying to configure Sublime Text 3 to act as my IDE for Python development, and while I've read the documentation, I'm still having problems importing extra libraries using the Anaconda.sublime-settings file. From what I've read, it should be as simple as having this text in the Anaconda.sublime-settings file:
{
"python_interpreter": "/Users/mc/anaconda/bin/python",
"extra_paths":
[
"/Users/mc/workspaces/brg/brg_framework/libs/python",
"/Users/mc/workspaces/brg/brg_packages/brg_fea"
]
}
When I try to build a file, I immediately get an ImportError about a module from that python library (brg is a folder in the ~/brg_framework/libs/python package). If I ask for the paths for the build, I get the following, but not my extra path.
print sys.path
['/Users/mc/workspaces/BRG/brg_packages/brg_splines', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python27.zip', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Sphinx-1.3.5-py2.7.egg', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/aeosa', '/Users/mc/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-21.2.1-py2.7.egg']

Is the Anaconda.sublime-settings file being overridden somehow? I am running OS X if that matters.
As r-stein indicated, the "extra_paths" setting in Anaconda is for its auto-completing and linting features, not for building. If you need to change your PYTHONPATH, you'll have to create a new build system. Select Tools → Build System → New Build System…, erase the contents of the view that opens, and add this instead:
{
"shell_cmd": "/Users/mc/anaconda/bin/python -u \"$file\"",
"file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.python",
"env": {"PYTHONPATH": "/Users/mc/workspaces/brg/brg_framework/libs/python:/Users/mc/workspaces/brg/brg_packages/brg_fea"}
}
Save the file as Packages/User/brg_Python.sublime-build (the Save dialog should already open in Packages/User. Now, you can select Tools → Build System → brg_Python and run your program with ⌘B.
