Running Python from Atom
The script package does exactly what you're looking for: https://atom.io/packages/script
The package's documentation also contains the key mappings, which you can easily customize.
Yes, you can do it by:
-- Install Atom
-- Install Python on your system. Atom requires the latest version of Python (currently 3.8.5). Note that Anaconda sometimes may not have this version, and depending on how you installed it, it may not have been added to the PATH. Install Python via https://www.python.org/ and make sure to check the option of "Add to PATH"
-- Install "scripts" on Atom via "Install packages"
-- Install any other autocomplete package like Kite on Atom if you want that feature.
-- Run it
I tried the normal way (I had Python installed via Anaconda) but Atom did not detect it & gave me an error when I tried to run Python. This is the way around it.
