sublime text 3 w Anaconda builds python, but will not display gui

Question

I have configured Sublime Text 3 to build a python script from my installation of the Anaconda3 distribution. I have a 'hello world' python script that prints successfully. The default python build system also works.

However, when I try to run a gui script compiled from qtdesigner, the gui is not displayed, and no error is provided. I think it is just suppressing the gui, but I can't figure out how to force it (or configure it) to do so.

If I build the the default Python default system the gui displays -- so there must be some setting I can set to disable this windows gui suppression when using the Anaconda3 build system. Below is the Anaconda3.sublime-build json file used:

{
"cmd": ["C:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda3\\python","-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

I'm working on a PC, running Windows 10 with the latest install of Anaconda3 and Sublime Text 3.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

{
    "cmd": ["start", "cmd", "/k", "C:\\ProgramData\\Anaconda3\\python", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

This may do the trick. It starts the python process in an external cmd window, running your program from the command line instead of inside Sublime.
