I have written a python script using Python 3.10 and like to start the script via my PoP OS! library link that I created. My .desktop file is in the correct directory in usr/share/applications, was installed by xdg-desktop-menu install .desktop and looks as follows:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Ausgaben-App
Comment=...
Exec=python3 "/home/pz/PycharmProjects/pythonProject4/db-expenses.py"
Icon=/home/pz/PycharmProjects/pythonProject4/Ausgaben-App.ico
Terminal=true
StartupWMClass=Ausgaben-App
Type=Application
Categories=Application
I made my pythonscript executable by means of chmod +x . I am able to start my python script from the terminal. When I copy the line of the desktop config file behind the Exec in the terminal my script starts without any problems. But when I click the app icon in my PoP OS! library a terminal windows opens for 1/10 s and shows the import error "No module named pandas", afterwards nothing happens.
I defined my pythonpath in the .bashrc file as follows:
export PYTHONPATH=/home/pz/PycharmProjects/pythonProject4/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages:/home/pz/PycharmProjects/pythonProject4/venv/bin:/home/pz/PycharmProjects/pythonProject4
I am not very accustomed to use and set up python-scripts / python IDEs in combination with a linux OS. I don't check why I can run my script from the terminal, but with the same execution path inside a .desktop file the app don't starts. I already looked up various other threads regarding this or similar problems but I am not able to solve this problem on my own. Any help / advice would be welcome.
I guess that the definition of my python path is not set correctly, but I wonder why the script starts via terminal?! I reinstalled my library link with xdg-desktop-menu uninstall / install, I removed it entirely, made it executable again and installed the desktop link again. Without any success.
