HELP! Exception Python interpreter not found

#1 Post by hyouseo5356 »

Hi, it is my first day trying out Ren'Py today. So I downloaded the software and try to create a new project, then I got this error code below.
It says that it can't find a python interpreter, but I have no idea where to setup the interpreter?
Can anyone help me?
Thank you,


I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
File "renpy/common/000statements.rpy", line 569, in execute_call_screen
store._return = renpy.call_screen(name, *args, **kwargs)
File "game/project.rpy", line 743, in __call__
File "game/project.rpy", line 239, in launch
Exception: (u'Python interpreter not found: %r', [u'pythonw.exe', 'E:/\x93\xaf\x90l/\x83/\x83t\x83g\x83E\x83F\x83A/renpy-7.4.6-sdk/renpy.exe'])

You probably palced RenPy or your project in the directory with non-latin symbols in its path.
