Choose Python path on Linux

[Alcamp]

Hello folks,

I'm following this tutorial to add a plugin that allows zoom and tracking of the mouse.

When I try selecting a script from Tools>Scripts, there is no "settings" tab to set my path (on Ubuntu 18; OBS 27).

When I select my script, OBS uses Python 3.8.5 but my required packages are on Python 3.6.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Allan

Still trying to figure this out with OBS 32.2.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 (installed via the official PPA)
Surely there must be some way to the change which python version OBS uses. This is maddening.

This is because, on Linux, it uses a Python interpreter that is shipped with OBS, so it is fixed at 3.8.

There is a compile option RUNTIME_LINK that might be useful if you are prepared to build OBS yourself.
