How to exclude a layer in spacemacs?

I don't want to enable certain layers in Spacemacs, and choose not to install them, for example, python layer is commented out:

   dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
   '(
     ;; python
     rust

However, every time I opens a python file, it asks me

Support for python-mode requires installation of layer python, do you want to install it? (y or n) n [2 times]

I have to keep rejecting it, which is kind of annoying.

Is there a way to exclude those layers and mute such notifications?

Solution

  • I ran into this too (the python layer was annoying me too haha).

    Changing these settings in my .spacemacs got it to quiet down:

       dotspacemacs-enable-lazy-installation nil
   dotspacemacs-ask-for-lazy-installation nil
