As the title sais; I'd like to use my system's Python with Blender, instead of the internal one, but after searching for ~30 minutes I still couldn't find a way how, or at least not in words I understood.

    that one is about using modules from your system python, and though the most upvoted answer does have a method for using system Python, it doesn't work - it just makes it so Blender won't start. – Treehee Jul 28 '17 at 14:16
  • oh I think I migth have a different version of Python. Lemme check. – Treehee Jul 28 '17 at 14:18
  • As mentioned there, for it to work you must use the same Python version (which changes depending on Blender's version, and the correct bit version - 32 / 64) as that one used by Blender. Most likely that's why it doesn't work in your case. – TLousky Jul 28 '17 at 14:18
  • I just checked - I seem to have a slightly newer version of Python. – Treehee Jul 28 '17 at 14:20
  • alot newer version* – Treehee Jul 28 '17 at 14:21
  • It didn't work. It still gives the same error, even after setting the compatible version of Python as default. – Treehee Jul 28 '17 at 14:48
  • Are you sure the compatible version is set as the active default python on your system? – TLousky Jul 28 '17 at 14:50
  • Pretty sure. I installed the compatible version, then renamed the commands that start Python (so the default command would start the compatible version). I even tried temporarily deleting the uncompatible version. – Treehee Jul 28 '17 at 14:54

$ blender --python-use-system-env Allow Python to use system environment variables such as 'PYTHONPATH' and the user site-packages directory.
