I am running Android Studio 2.2.3
I need to run Python scripts during my development to process some data files. The final apk does not need to run Python in the device.
At the moment I run the scripts from a terminal or from PyDev for Eclipse, but I was looking for a way of doing it from Android Studio.
There seems to be a way to do this, as when I right-click on a .py file and select the 'Run' option, an 'Edit configuration' dialog opens where I can configure several options. The problem is that I cannot specify the Python interpreter, having to select it from a combo box of already configured Python SDKs. While there is no interpreter selected, there is an error message stating "Error: Please select a module with a valid Python SDK". 
I managed to create Java modules for my project, but not Python ones (I do have the Python Community Edition plugin installed).Does anybody know how to achieve this?.
TIA.
If you only need to run the scripts and not to edit them, the easiest way to do so is to configure an external tool through Settings | Tools | External Tools. This doesn't require the Python plugin or any Python-specific configuration; you can simply specify the command line to execute. External tools appear as items in the Tools menu, and you can also assign keyboard shortcuts to them using Settings | Keymap.
