Python Interpreter not installed after installing Aptana Studio3

I was under the impression that installing Aptana Studio 3 also installed the python interpreter. when I try to create a PyDev project it says that "Project Interpreter not specified" So it will not let me proceed. Is there any documentation on how to proceed configuring the interpreter for Studio 3? I am using the latest build of Aptana Studio 3 standalone build: 3.0.4.201108101506.

Thanks In advance for any assistance.

PS I have alr开发者_运维问答eady uninstalled and reinstalled studio 3 and am still having the same issue I am running it on windows 7 64 bit machine

I'd probably recommend you just download Python from the official site, and configure Aptana to find it.

You can download the latest version of Python from here:

http://www.python.org/download/

You didn't specify whether you were using Python 2.x or Python 3.x? For compatibility reasons, I'd probably go with Python 2.x. The latest 64-bit Windows version of it is 2.7.2., direct link is:

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/python-2.7.2.amd64.msi

After you've downloaded and installed it, it will place your python interpreter in (assuming you use C:\ as your Windows drive):

C:\Python27\Python

You simply need to point Aptana to this. To do this, go into preference, then on the left, look for Pydev. Expand that, and look for the section Interpreter - Python.

In theory, if you click Auto Config, it should automatically detect C:\Python27. If it doesn't, you simply need to click New, then use the File dialog prompt to find C:\Python27\python.exe. This will also automatically import all the Python libraries and site-packages you have installed as well (although if this is a fresh install, it'll just be the stdlibs).

Let us know if you have any issues with the above.
