Py4pd Config File

The Py4pd configuration file (py4pd.cfg) can be created in the directory where the py4pd binary is installed. Below is an example configuration file:

conda_env_packages = /home/neimog/.config/miniconda3.dir/envs/composition/lib/python3.11/site-packages/
editor_command = wezterm -e nvim %s +%d

This configuration file enables the customization of additional settings such as Conda environment packages, editor commands, and the choice of editor.

Conda Env Packages

This feature enables the utilization of packages installed within the Conda environment. As a result, there is no need to install certain packages twice.

Editor Commands

As shown in Editor Options, py4pd has five pre-configured editors. vscode, nvim, emacs, sublime, and gvim. But, for example, with nvim on Linux Gnome, py4pd assumes that gnome-console or gnome-terminal is installed.As showed in Editor Options, py4pd has five pre-configured editors. vscode, nvim, emacs, sublime and gvim.

I don't use either of these, I use wezterm, so I need to set my editor command as I did. You should research how to open your editor. You need two arguments expressed by %s and %d. %s will be replaced by the file name of the Python Scripted loaded. %d will be replaced by line number where the function line is defined. If you can't open your editor in a specified line, you can omit the %d argument.

Danger

The command %s always should be used before %d. If you change the order this will probably crash PureData.

Editor

Here you set you default editor. It can be vscode, nvim, emacs, sublime or gvim.
