Dear Mr. Stawarz,

I am doing my internship at the DPZ in Göttingen and have to implement the python bridge for MWORKS for online analysis. Designing an experiment in MWorks is quite dauting and new for me.

In the documentation it is said, that you have to choose the python-executable. Sadly I am not able to find a executable. Can you specify which file exactly I have to choose here? I am just not shure how I find this executable.

Greetings  
Samuel

Hi Samuel,

Where you find the Python executable depends on how you installed Python. If you downloaded an installer from [python.org](https://www.python.org), then the executable you want is probably `/usr/local/bin/python3`. If you installed Python via an [Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com) installer or some other method, then you’ll need to tell MWorks where to find the Python executable associated with that installation.

Cheers,  
Chris
