Unable to start pyls unless started from command line

[simon123h]

I am running Atom 1.21.1 on Debian.
I only have python-language-server locally installed via pip install --user python-language-server.
pyls is in my path, the command pyls --version gives me the desired output.

pyls and python-ide work just fine, when I start Atom from command line. If I do otherwise, eg. by clicking on a file, I get the prompt

Unable to start the Python language server.
This can occur if you do not have Python installed or if it is not in your path.
[...]

I checked the source and there is this line in main.js:32:
// For some reason Atom only detects the correct env if started from the command line on Mac.
And then some exceptional behavior for Mac.

I feel like I run into the same issue as this comment suggest for Mac. Is that an upstream issue of Atom not detecting the correct env? Should we have a workaround for Debian as well?

@simon123h Could you try again with v0.2.3?

This should now work properly on all operating systems.

Works properly on my machine! Bravo!

Great!
