PythonScript python 3k is not compatible with virtual environment under windows 11

[stier08]

Hi, I have to apologize for rather a fragmented issue / bug description.

Background. I'm using notepad++ in two different environments Home npp.8.4.2.portable.x64 Windows 11 Portable WinPython 3.8 PythonScript manual build against 3.8 link

Work npp.8.4.2.portable.x64 Windows 10 Pre-installed Python 3.8 by IT department PythonScript manual build against 3.8 [link] (https://github.com/stier08/PythonScript/tree/vs2019_toolset_v140_boost_1_74_0_wp38_x64_v2)

Problem PythonScript does not work in Home environment under python virtual environment

In Work environment , everything is fine.

Analysis With built in debug logging I was able to nail down issues to broken PyConfig. I.e. when executed under python virtual environment following PyConfig members got uninitialized

prefix, base_prefix, exec_prefix, base_exec_prefix,

and Py_InitializeFromConfig returns status:

"failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding" in "init_fs_encoding"

Workaround

I was able to make a quick dirty fix to solve the issue by explicitly setting prefix, base_prefix, exec_prefix, base_exec_prefix, and appending missing paths to module_search_paths.

Unfortunately I did See more tech details down below and under https://github.com/stier08/PythonScript/tree/vs2019_toolset_v140_boost_1_74_0_wp38_x64_v2.

Workaround solution based on explicit parsing environment and pyvenv.cfg

` void venv_update_py_config(PyConfig& cfg) { const char* virtual_env; if (virtual_env = std::getenv("VIRTUAL_ENV")) { output_debug_string("VIRTUAL_ENV : " + std::string(virtual_env));

	std::string pyvenv_cfg = std::string(virtual_env) + "\\" + std::string("pyvenv.cfg");
	std::ifstream ifile;
	ifile.open(pyvenv_cfg);
	if (ifile) {
		std::map<std::string, std::string> properties = read_key_values(ifile);
		std::map<std::string, std::string>::iterator homeit = properties.find("home"); 
		std::map<std::string, std::string>::iterator versionit = properties.find("version");
		if (homeit != properties.end() && versionit != properties.end())
		{
			std::string home = homeit->second;
			std::wstring whome;
			std::wstring w_virtual_env;

			

			{
				std::wstringstream cls;
				cls << home.c_str();
				whome = cls.str();
			}

			{
				std::wstringstream cls;
				cls << virtual_env;
				w_virtual_env = cls.str();
			}

			PyConfig_SetString(&cfg, & ( cfg.base_exec_prefix ), whome.c_str());
			PyConfig_SetString(&cfg, & ( cfg.base_prefix) , whome.c_str());

			PyConfig_SetString(&cfg, & ( cfg.exec_prefix) , w_virtual_env.c_str());
			PyConfig_SetString(&cfg, & ( cfg.prefix ) , w_virtual_env.c_str());

			PyWideStringList_Append(&cfg.module_search_paths,
				(whome + std::wstring(L"\\") + std::wstring(L"python") + extract_python_suffix( versionit->second ) + std::wstring(L"python") ).c_str()
				);


			PyWideStringList_Append(&cfg.module_search_paths,
				(whome + std::wstring(L"\\") + std::wstring(L"DLLs")).c_str()
			);


			PyWideStringList_Append(&cfg.module_search_paths,
				(whome + std::wstring(L"\\") + std::wstring(L"lib")).c_str()
			);

			PyWideStringList_Append(&cfg.module_search_paths,
				(whome ).c_str()
			);


			PyWideStringList_Append(&cfg.module_search_paths,
				(w_virtual_env).c_str()
			);


			PyWideStringList_Append(&cfg.module_search_paths,
				(w_virtual_env + std::wstring(L"\\") + std::wstring(L"site - packages")).c_str()
			);
		
		}
		else {
			if (homeit != properties.end())
				output_debug_string(pyvenv_cfg + std::string(" home does not exist"));
			if (versionit != properties.end())
				output_debug_string(pyvenv_cfg + std::string(" version does not exist"));

		}

	}
	else {
		output_debug_string(pyvenv_cfg + std::string(" does not exist"));
	}
}
else {
	output_debug_string( "VIRTUAL_ENV " + std::string(" does not exist"));
}
