How to setup Python segment?

[Daksh777]

Even after reading the docs, I really can't seem to understand how can I setup the segment for Python.
I think I need to export the config butI can't seem to find how to export it in the docs either.

@Daksh777 for which platform is this? You can export the theme you like (or copy it from here), store that in a file you give your own name and set that as the theme/config to use. You can then easily extend/adjust the segments to your liking.

For Windows Terminal.
Okay, so I exported the theme as JSON and added it to the $profile and added the sample Python configuration but it seems to be resetting the current theme despite the Set-PoshPrompt -Theme stelbent.minimal in the $profile and also, I do not see any changes in the Python segment for some reason?

Can you show me your$PROFILE? If I understand correctly, you don't need to add the json to your $PROFILE, but create a new file with that content (all themes are that anyways), then reference that new file's locations and name from your $PROFILE.

Suppose you export it like this: Export-PoshTheme -FilePath ~/.mytheme.omp.json -Format json, this creates a new file .mytheme.omp.json in your $HOME folder. You can then set it (like you do with stelbent.minimal) using Set-PoshPrompt -Theme ~/.mytheme.omp.json.

Thank you so much @JanDeDobbeleer, I got it to work.
However, I see extremely long loading times (around 600-700ms). All I have in my $PROFILE is Set-PoshPrompt -Theme ~/terminal.omp.json

I just added the sample config of the Python to the existing stelbent.minimal theme and it increased the loading time. Do you have any idea why would that happen?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

No, Powershell is known to be slow to load. If you run that command directly from the CLI, you'll see it does not take 700ms to run. So I can't help there.

[Daksh777]

You're correct.
Thank you for the help.
