hi I’m hitting the

Exception message: Could not establish identity of /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/pythonwrapper.app/Contents/MacOS/pythonwrapper

that I believe was mentioned elsewhere (see e.g https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/13451). I am on pants 1.27.0 (yes I know it’s ancient we cannot upgrade to pants 2 as it doesn’t support our languages yet). this happens specifically with

./pants export

which the intellij plugin needs in order to work.

./pants compile

and friends on cmdline work fine. any way we can get the fix mentioned in those PRs, or some other workaround, to resolve this? cc @enough-analyst-54434

Just as an aside (I'm a devrel person, not tech support), which languages do you need us to support in the future? Let's make sure we've got that on our radar. :-)

JS

Oh cool! That's definitely something we're interested in supporting. If you haven't yet participated in the annual community roadmap survey taking place right now, do upvote that to bump it up the priorities.

Did anything change on your system that made this happen? I.e., did it work before and now it doesn't?

I updated intellij had to redo my project and now it won’t create it b/c of this

One thing to try as a workaround is to eliminate the macos python (which is nonstandard in some weird ways) from the interpreter search path, and let is use pyenv interpreters instead

ye we’re all pyenv that would be good

OK, so in the

[python-setup]

section of

pants.ini

you'd set

interpreter_search_paths = ["<PYENV>"]

which is a special string that says "look in the pyenv interpreter dir. By default that value contains

"<PATH>"

, which means it'll look on the $PATH, which is presumably where it's finding that janky interpreter.

aha I think that did it, we actually had

interpreter_search_paths

already but we had

+[]

is there a way to see what it expands to and remove just that one?

I think in Pants v1 you did that with

./pants options

? (now it's just

./pants help python-setup

)

The default value is

["<PEXRC>", "<PATH>"]
