Hello all.
I have a plugin written in Python 2 that has been laying around for ~2 years.
I started installing MySQL Workbench on my new computer and noticed that my plugin isn't working anymore, that is, having installed the plugin the way I used to makes MySQL Workbench crash.
I then installed JetBrains PyCharm, which fails to integrate the WB internal python.exe.
I posted to the JetBrains forums here:
https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/11892382804882-Integrating-MySQL-Workbench-Python-interpreter-fails
Here you can see what PyCharm spits out as error messages (see screenshots there):
"Cannot set up a Python SDK at (C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench 8.0 CE\python.exe). The SDK seems invalid."
and
"Fatal Python error: initfsencoding: unable to load the file system codec
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'
Current thread: blabla...:"
The JB representative hinted that he gets the same error, quote:
"I have installed MySQL Workbench 8.0.33 and have the same issue when I run python.exe outside the IDE, so it seems to be an issue with their Python distribution."
Will the WB fix this (anytime soon) or what's the desired solution here?
I could fiddle with the Python interpreter with myself, but I think this is not the long-term desired solution here (if it works at all).
Comments (from the team) welcome.
Thanks
