WinError 2 with Anaconda installed "The system cannot find the file specified" on any Python code through Sublime Text 4

Recently installed Anaconda as I wish to delve more into data science and machine learning, and am trying to set up my Sublime Text to be my main editor, which it did used to be when I had just Python installed.
I uninstalled everything python related, and installed just Anaconda, changing the PATH from the normal python path to C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts and C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3. I reinstalled ST3, where the code did work, and then updated to ST4. (this is an edit, I had not realised my ST3 had updated to 4 when I first posted.)
I made sure that the command python works in cmd, and though I do get a warning;
""Warning:
This Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment has
not been activated. Libraries may fail to load. To activate this environment
please see https://conda.io/activation""
a print("Hello World") statement works.
Moving on to Sublime Text, I attempted to test the same command and am met with an error;
[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
[cmd: ['py', '-u', '']]
[dir: E:\Programs\Sublime Text 3]
[path: C:\Program Files\Oculus\Support\oculus-runtime;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\PuTTY\;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3;C:\Users\seabr\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\MinGW-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\bin\;C:\Users\seabr\AppData\Local\GitHubDesktop\bin;]
[Finished]
I attempted to fix this by checking the sublime-build file for Python using PackageResouceViewer and changing python3 to python in there, which did not fix the issue. I then installed the conda package which when ran does not give me a build output, but looking into the sublime text console I can see;
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./python3.3/subprocess.py", line 1104, in _execute_child
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

File "./python3.3/subprocess.py", line 1110, in _execute_child
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
This is the closest I can find to my situation, but following the fixes in there also have not fixed my issue.
In essense, I'm not sure whether this is an issue with my anaconda environment, my sublime text or my windows PATH, so any help would be greatly appricated and I'm happy to provide more information if it is needed

I had the same issue after updating to Sublime Text 4.
I fixed it by changing python3 to python (like you mentioned trying) and also py to python in my Python.sublime-build.
Hope this works.

How do I debug with PyCharm while using Vagrant

I am new to Python. I am new to Vagrant. However, my team runs their project using a Vagrant VM and IDEs of their own choosing. I chose PyCharm, because I've used some JetBrains products in the past.
I'd really like to be able to visually debug through it as it is running. Set a break point, view the values of variables, etc.
PyCharm has a help section (and the related articles above it):
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-product-to-work-on-the-vm.html
I've done all of them, but under Project->Project Interpreter the Path Mappings seem to list all the shared folders on the between the host machine and the Vagrant VM. Those shared folders are
one directory up from the actual project
my vagrant directory
My home directory
I don't think it is pointing to the project or its dependency libraries correctly.
I also get a yellow message at the bottom that says Python packaging tools not found.
If I hit debug, I get the following output in a terminal:
bash: line 0: cd: /vagrant/app: No such file or directory
pydev debugger: process 2032 is connecting
Connected to pydev debugger (build 191.6183.50)

It also has opened itself a tab for 'pydev.py' that has in it:
Remote file /home/vagrant/.pycharm_helpers/pydev/pydevd.py is mapped to the
local path C:\Users\<my username>\vagrant\.pycharm_helpers\pydev\pydevd.py
and can't be found. You can continue debugging, but without the source. To
fix that you can do one of the following:
How can setup to debug from PyCharm on my host machine through code running on the Vagrant VM?

Could you tell me the reason of this error and how can I remove it?
I found this link while looking for the solution, but it didnt make any difference.

I guess configuring_apache_django_anaconda is relevant, if you look at the troubleshooting section.
This means that apache is using Python 2 instead of Python 3 to run a program that is designed for Python 3 only, and fails because Python 2 does not have the _sysconfigdata_m module. The solution is to add the following file to your apache envvar file (/etc/apache2/envvar):
export PATH=/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
So maybe check which version of python anaconda is running?
Also these two might be related:Linux - Weird Python Output
ubuntu anaconda suggested fix
I would suggest you print your PATH variable to see if you have several python3 entries in there, and try to specify explicity which one to run.

That is an strange situation you have gotten yourself into, and if Continuum had any part of it (where I'm an engineer) we'd like to understand what we did that led to it so we can avoid it in the future.
Where did you try installing Anaconda? Did you set any environment variables?
The "easiest-to-resolve" cause of this problem is that you have set some environment variables that are mixing system Python libraries and Anaconda Python libraries. You should look at the output of:
env | grep -i anaconda
and see if anything comes up that specifies a path to Anaconda. The only one that should appear is an entry in PATH. If there are any LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME or similar environment variables that point to Anaconda then that is going to be a problem.
The only other thing I can think of is that you specified /usr as the install path for Anaconda. If that is the case you are probably in for a world of pain: you have just replaced your system Python with Anaconda. You should investigate how to force-reinstall whichever Python package comes with your *nix distribution, but even that might be tricky: tools such as yum are written in Python and will need a working system Python interpreter to work. But RPM is binary (if you're on a RedHat or derivative distro), so maybe you can wget or curl the necessary system Python packages and force-install them to try and fix things.
Let us know if that is enough information for you to fix things or at least identify the source of the problem a little better.

Running Linux Commands from Python on Windows Computer

I am trying to learn how to run command line commands from Python. I am able to do this with DOS:
import subprocess
subprocess.call("dir",shell=True)
This is fine, but I need to be able to do this for linux commands because my company uses linux servers. I am using Mobaxterm to run a local linux session. When I try this:
import subprocess
subprocess.call("ls",shell=True)
I get this error from the terminal:
'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Which sounds ridiculous to me, because ls is clearly a linux command.
If I don't include shell=True I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "ConsolePractice.py", line 4, in <module>
subprocess.call("ls")

startupinfo)
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
So what am I doing wrong? How can I get this to work?
EDIT: Thanks for the comments. Python for Windows won't work for what I'm trying to do. I connected to a linux server and did:
cat > ConsoleCmd.py
import subprocess
subprocess.call("ls",shell=True)
^C
python ConsoleCmd.py
... and ls ran. Found the issue. I'll just have to get my scripts on to the server and run them from there. Thanks everyone

I was able to resolve this issue by opening an SFTP Session within Mobaxterm, transferring the python file to the server, then running the file directly on the server (python was already installed on the server).

Using virtualenv in VMWare with shared Windows folder

I currently use a linux VM in VMWare running on a Windows machine. I have a shared Windows folder for my projects that I access in linux via /mnt/hgfs/
When I try to use virtualenv for my python projects I get an 'Operation not supported' error:
joe#myserver:/mnt/hgfs/winwww/envtest# virtualenv env
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise Error, errors
shutil.Error: [('/usr/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.so', 'env/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.so', '[Errno 95] Operation not supported')]
I'm assuming this is due to Windows not being able to handle symbolic links because I can create my virtualenvs in other directories.
Has anyone worked out a way to make virtualenv work in shared Windows folders? I edit my code on my Windows machine which is why I use shared folders.
Thanks.

The virtualenv does not need to be located next to your code, so even if you can't create it within your shared folder this shouldn't affect your ability to edit the code on windows and run it on your host platform. It sounds to me like a bad idea anyway to attempt to share platform-specific files with multiple platforms.
This is the usefulness of the .pth files and if you're using setuptools with a setup.py within your project you can just $VENV/python setup.py develop which will link your project into the virtualenv, wherever it may be located. You can then run $VENV/python and your package will be in the sys.path and available for import.
