Launch DaVinci Resolve with Python Support

This project will make it easier to run Python codes in Davinci Resolve, using venv. Has not been tested even by the author and may not work.

Requirements

Installation of Python 3.6+.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/34j/DaVinciResolve.LaunchWithPython.git
py -m venv venv
launch

Then DaVinci Resolve will be launched and you can use Python scripts.

If you want to install any Python packages, just

py -m venv venv
pip install -U numpy
launch

General Q&A (not specifically related to this repository)

How To Use Python 3 in DaVinci Resolve

1. Install the latest python from python.org. Supposedly, DaVinci Resolve 18 can use any version of Python above 3.6.
2. Add %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python3*\ (e.g. %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python310\) to PATH.

For those installed Python 3 from Windows Store and encountering Python 3 Not Found errors in DaVinci Resolve

Probably, when DaVinci Resolve looks for a Python executable, it looks for a folder with a (non-virtualenv) python file/folder structure within %PATH% and executes python within that folder. By the way, on Windows, even without python installed, python in PowerShell or Command Prompt will reference %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe(0KB). (See CMD opens Windows Store when I type 'python' - Stack Overflow.) This python.exe(0KB) opens the Microsoft Store if you have not installed Python from the Microsoft Store, and after installing Python from the Microsoft Store, it calls the real python.exe(not 0KB), and the file/folder structure within %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps is not what DaVinci Resolve expects. Thus, even if you can call python in PowerShell or Command Prompt, you will get a Python 3 Not Found error because a folder with a (non-virtualenv) python file/folder structure is not in %PATH%.
