"Deviot needs Python 2.7 to work" - but it is installed

Description of problem

After the installation Deviot complains about the installation of Python2.

I have installed Python3 and Python2 in parallel:
c:\program files\python36
c:\program files\python27

According to https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/wiki/Setup I created a file
C:\Users\mklen\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Deviot\python.txt

My first try was:
C:\Program Files\Python27
C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts

My second try was:
C:\PROGRA1\Python27
C:\PROGRA1\Python27\Scripts

In both cases the message "Deviot needs Python 2.7 to work" occures after the restart of Sublime Text.
I know the blank in the path is not recommended but I though this is history. I had no problems since now. The 8.3 notation should solve this, if this is really the problem in this case.

My PATH variable is set to Python3 - should be not a problem according the the setup instructions.

Error(s) in ST Console? (View > Show Console)

Please use the develop version and try again https://github.com/gepd/Deviot/wiki/Setup#developer

That feature is not in the master branch yet.

Let me know if it solves your problem

The problem is solved - thx for the quick help.

Necessary is the python.txt file with the following content:
C:\Program Files\Python27
C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts

Restarting ST results in a new file deviot.ini with the following content (shortened):

[config]
env_path = C:\Users\mklen\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Deviot\penv;C:\Users\mklen\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\User\Deviot\penv\Scripts;C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Program Files\Python27;C:\Program Files\Python27\Scripts
installed = True

The path components C:\Python27 and C:\Python27\Scripts are clearly wrong. They are not in my PATH variable (System and User) an of course not on my filesystem, so its a result from the Deviot setup. I think this should be fixed.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll add a fix in a future release!

I also encountered this during an upgrade somewhere along the way in the dev branch. I ultimately resolved by complete uninstall/reinstall. That's great @gepd if you found a root cause for it to prevent in the future 👍

I've released dev13 with a fix for this.
