Answer 1

I managed to achieve this by doing the following:

1) Create a python venv

python3 -m venv /home/me/venv

2) Set pydev interpreter to the venv by going to Window->Preferences->PyDev_Interpreters->Python Interpreter-> Browse for python/pypy

3) Backup the python executable if needed:

mv /home/me/venv/bin/python3 /home/me/venv/bin/python3.bkp

4) Create a new python executable with the same name:

nano /home/me/venv/bin/python3

5) Paste the following content:

#!/bin/bash

remote_username=me
remote_interpreter=python3
remote_hostname=10.0.0.1

file_path=(${2//$remote_hostname/ })

ssh $remote_username@$remote_hostname "$remote_interpreter $1 ${file_path[1]}"

6) Change remote_username, remote_interpreter and remote_hostname to match your configurations.

Enjoy !
