Remote Interpreter DataSpell

Question

I am trying to run scripts on a remote server with DataSpell, so I am trying to configure a remote interpreter.

I follow these instructions and I get the error

Cannot Save Settings:
SSH Python x.x.x user@IP : Python x.x.x
(path/to/interpreter) can't be used as a workspace interpreter

As a path to the interpreter I have used the .../bin/python file that is created in a virtual environment. I have tried virtual environments created both with conda and venv. I have also found this, but I cannot understand the solution clearly.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It appears that Dataspell can have different interpreters for its workspace and projects or notebooks that are opened in the workspace.

I right-clicked the project folder in the Project window, and selected a remote interpreter just for the project. This is what the second source that I posted on my OP says. This works fine.

Answer 2

To change the interpreter in your project, follow these steps:

1. Open the Project window.
2. Right-click on the project folder in the Project window.
3. From the context menu that appears, select "Interpreter"
4. A new window will open showing the current interpreter for your project.
5. Look for the option to select an SSH interpreter and choose it or “Create a new one”

That's it! The SSH interpreter should now be set up for your project, and you can start using it for your development tasks.

I hope this helps!
