Manual Python Configuration

ScriptParasite auto-configures VS Code for Python components. For other editors like PyCharm, you'll need to set up the paths manually.

Rhino Python paths

Rhino 8 stores its Python 3 environment in your user profile under .rhinocode/py39-rh8. You need to add these paths to your editor for autocomplete to work:

Windows:

C:\Users\<username>\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\site-stubs
C:\Users\<username>\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\site-rhinopython
C:\Users\<username>\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\site-rhinoghpython
C:\Users\<username>\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\site-envs\default-<id>

macOS:

/Users/<username>/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/site-stubs
/Users/<username>/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/site-rhinopython
/Users/<username>/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/site-rhinoghpython
/Users/<username>/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/site-envs/default-<id>

The Python interpreter is at:

  • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\.rhinocode\py39-rh8\python.exe
  • macOS: /Users/<username>/.rhinocode/py39-rh8/python

The default-<id> folder has a unique suffix per installation. Check your site-envs folder for the actual name.

For more on Rhino's Python environments, see the Rhino developer documentation on Python Package Environments.

PyCharm

  1. Open Settings (Ctrl+Alt+S / Cmd+,)
  2. Go to Project → Python Interpreter
  3. Click the interpreter dropdown → Show All
  4. Select your interpreter, then click the Show Interpreter Paths icon in the toolbar (folder icon)
  5. Add each of the paths listed above
  6. Set the interpreter to Rhino's python.exe / python

Other editors

For any editor that supports custom Python paths, add the paths listed above to the editor's Python path configuration and point the interpreter to Rhino's embedded Python 3.
