Weird behaviour

Hello guys, I am facing weird bug while using CPython. When I use the below code, I am getting IronPython output.

#
#! python3

print("Hello from CPython")
import sys
print(sys.version)

Output -

Hello from CPython
2.7.12 (2.7.12.1000) 
[.NETStandard,Version=v2.0 on .NET 8.0.27 (64-bit)]

But when I use the below code, I am getting error.

#! python3

print("Hello from CPython")
import sys
print(sys.version)

Can you check the output of ‘pyrevit env’ command line?

For now, I have to use python subprocess as a workaround.

it seems the #! is ignored
please create an issue in the repo

A little late to this but have you tried the WIP build from this issue?

7

I guess this might be the issue.
One question though, do I have to uninstall existing stable version and install this WIP build? Or can I install alongside the stable version?

8

easiest would be to use the clone feature, if you’re comfortable with CLI

pyrevit clone dev --dest=“C:\pyRevit\dev” --branch=develop

and then attach the new clone via

pyrevit attach dev DEFAULT --installed

if a new WIP drops, you can then just

pyrevit clones update dev

Oh nice! Will try this by upcoming weekend.
