Summary0004553: SlicerPython does not launch with packaged SlicerPythonLauncherSettings.ini configuration
Description

If I add the path of SlicerPython to my PATH environment variable and try to run

SlicerPython

I get the error

error: Application does NOT exists [/Applications/Slicer.app/Contents/bin/bin/python-real]

This occurs on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

To fix this, I had to modify the SlicerPythonLauncherSettings.ini file that is included in the Slicer packages on. Under the [Application] section, I modified the path entry from

path=<APPLAUNCHER_DIR>/bin/python-real

to

path=<APPLAUNCHER_DIR>/../bin/python-real

This looks like an easy fix to the source code to an experiences Slicer developer, but a cursory search for where this .ini file is set up made it just beyond my reach as a Slicer user.

TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks for the detailed report.

The SlicerPython launcher is configured using this external project step

Then, I suggest to update this line with either ../${Slicer_BIN_DIR} or preferably .

This is required because the launcher SlicerPython is installed in the same directory as the python executable.

For reference, the install rule for the SlicerPython launcher can be found in CMake/SlicerBlockInstallPython.cmake
