Unable to start the Python language server

[Hazzard13]

Getting this error every time I start atom:

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.

Make sure to install pyls by running:

pip install python-language-server

I'm running the atom beta 1.21.0-beta0 x64, and pyls --help returns as expected.

I can reproduce this error. It looks like Atom doesn't preserve the env settings when not started from the command line.

For now starting Atom from the command line or configuring the pyls path to point to the absolut location should fix it.

Published v0.1.1 with a fix for this issue: ff6df9e

Man, thanks for the incredibly fast fix! Great work @lgeiger.

This issue still appears for me in version 0.8.0 of ide-python. As @lgeiger said above, the issue doesn't occur if atom is launched from the command line, but does if launched any other way. pyls --help gives the expected output.

maybe we need an option to explicitly set the absolute path to pyls?
EDIT
Found the option. my mistake...
