Python build doesn't work on Sublime Text

Question

Whenever I build (Cmd+B) on Sublime Text 3 it doesn't execute my code.

I used Shift+Command+B to set the build system to Python. I also tried making my own build system by using the which python3.6 command in terminal, which said /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6

I put in this in my custom build system

{
    "cmd": ["python", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

However I still get the same error. Please help.

I know this is a really stupid question, I'm sure I just have to change some settings to solve this, thanks for you time.

The build system in your question doesn't specify the Python that you said you found; however @varunsangal is correct; you need to save the file before the external Python interpreter can run it. — OdatNurd

Looks like Python can't find anything to build.

A couple of quick things:

You don't seem to have saved your file. Save it with a .py extention.
Is Python on your path? Try to type " python " in a cmd terminal.

Python is definitely in the path because it's the Python interpreter that's displaying the error. You're correct that the issue is that the file hasn't been saved.

For sublime text, it's better to use package: Anaconda.

Here is a blog is written in Chinese, but you can follow the pics: https://hanbaobao2005.wordpress.com/2016/06/07/python%E5%A4%9A%E7%89%88%E6%9C%AC-sublime-text-anaconda%E6%8C%87%E5%8C%97/

Open a new file and write this:

{
    "cmd": ["/usr/bin/python3", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]File \"(...?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python"
}

Save the file as Python3.sublime-build, then change your Build System to Python3 and try to run your code again. Now, it should run successfully.

In my case, I found that the problem was with this line, "selector": "source.python". Once I changed it to "selector": "source.py", and re-open the python program file, it worked.
