Alfred 4 select path for python/ruby/anything

[Blazej]

Can I select a custom path to python/ruby/swift for a script in Alfred 4?

If you want to use a specific interpreter, either change the shebang in your script or use /bin/bash as the Language and specify the full path to the interpreter: /usr/local/bin/python scriptname.py "$1"

Ok, so I can do the same with Alfred 3, right?

Yes. When you set Language to /bin/bash, you're basically turning Alfred into a shell. You can run anything you could from your shell (differing environment notwithstanding).

 

Both Alfred 3 & 4 also support setting Language to "External Script", which will run anything that's executable.
