How to use python 32bit under osx with Aptana studio

Question

I have the exact same issue. I couldnt find/understand how to use 32 bit python in Aptana. Running the same .py file in terminal works fine

Download the 32 bit version of Python and add it as your interpreter for Python.

There's a detailed guide with pictures on how to do it under Ubuntu, the process for OS X is likely similar: https://askubuntu.com/questions/233740/configure-python-2-7-3-interpreter-in-aptana-studio

EDIT: To find out what version of Python Aptana is using, run

import sys
print(sys.version) #under python 3
print sys.version #under python 2.7

If you're not sure whether you're using Python 3 or 2.7, try both and see which one works.

That didnt help. How Can I tell if my interpreter is trully 32 bit or not? – buddy123 Aug 20 '13 at 17:00
Were you able to make any progress on this? – Patrick Collins Aug 22 '13 at 16:09
it helped, it wasnt the solution yet I have found by using sys.version that the interpreter of Aptana was 2.7.2, not 2.7.4 as the one used in shell. I fixed that, now its ok – buddy123 Aug 23 '13 at 13:50

If you open a terminal, you can check:

$ file /usr/bin/python

and see the available architectures you have. It is likely that the binary supports more than one architecture.

Have you already tried using?

arch -i386 /usr/bin/python

as interpreter in Aptana, or setting the environment variable VERSIONER_PYTHON_PREFER_32_BIT or just forcing the 32 bits version:

$ defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes

You can define the environment variable in the Preference window, section Interpreter - Python → Environment
