Sublime Text Anaconda Error After Update

Question

I use Sublime Text on Windows and Anaconda (the distribution software, not the Sublime Text plugin). After the latest update to Sublime Text (3.0 build 3143), I suddenly get this popup upon opening Sublime Text 3 with a Python file open:

Anaconda.anaconda_lib.workers.local_process.LocalProcess object at Ox04CB7630> process can not start a new anaconda JsonServer in the operating system because: Anaconda can not spawn a new process with your current configured python interpreter (python) Make sure your interpreter is a valid binary and is in your PATH or use an absolute path to it, for example: C:\Python27\python.exe

I'm confused why this is happening because Python/Anaconda was working perfectly before I updated Sublime Text 3. I was able to run my files just fine. I didn't change any path or anything having to do with Python.

After closing this popup and attempting to run my Python file, I get this message:

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Answer 1

It turns out that switching the order of my environment variables fixed it; I moved the Anaconda3 path to the top under "Edit environment variables" and then after restarting Sublime Text 3, the Python files ran perfectly as usual.
