<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thankyou for your responses.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Toggling the Dynamic Online Status Determination meant I am now able to retrieve the list of plugins. It did not solve the issue of being able to connect to IRC servers – not a huge issue but would be nice to know what is causing this.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With regards to Conda environments – thankyou Christos for your useful contributions. Installing eric6 under its own virtual environment is a great idea as it means I can keep pyqt5 and qscintilla and other packages used by eric in compatible
versions with eric.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The way you have described setting conda virtual environments works a charm – it seems you can only set an environment as a “global environment” if you have not also set the directory path name. I also do not know what the effect of this
is.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have now realized, after testing with other modules, that it is the numpy module in particular that is making life difficult. Here is my setup:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Miniconda installed, base environment has no extra modules installed</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">eric6 environment has pyqt5, qscintilla installed underneath it. Eric has been installed and is running under this environment</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">testEric environment has numpy installed. Numpy successfully imports when running through the anaconda prompt with the testEric environment activated.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now, if I try to import numpy in a script and run through eric, where I choose testEric as the virtual environment, I get an import error. This is the same import error I get if I manually run the testEric python interpreter and try to
import numpy. So I assume conda is doing something else when I run its activation script. I have tried changing the virtual environment configuration in eric, in particular the “global environment” toggle as mentioned before, as well as changing the <default>
global environment to both the conda base interpreter, and the eric6 environment interpreter. Clearly none of these settings also change whatever conda is doing.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cristos – do you work with numpy and do you work with numpy in eric? Perhaps this is one of your “working” packages you have installed under the base environment. I assume this issue won’t exist if running through the base environment,
but this is clearly not a solution if one wants to work with virtual environments in their intended sense.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thankyou all again for your input,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alex.</p>

Virtual environments can be different on different computers/operating <br>
systems. Therefore I am not including this in the project data, because that <br>
should be platform/installation neutral. However, one can configure the <br>
debugger settings specifically for a project through the Project menu <br>
(Project->Debugger). Loading and saving of the project debugger settings can <br>
be configured on the Project->Project configuration page.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Because I started to use Python with the Anaconda distribution, which is popular for scientific applications, from the beginning I was involved with the problems of Conda environments and Eric. One way or another I solved them, with no
