Runtime.source

how the install was found — env, registry, well-known, or path

Python
source: str

Returns str — one of "env", "registry", "well-known", or "path"

Example#

Python
rt = find_runtime()
print(rt.source)   # → "registry"

Notes#

One of "env", "registry", "well-known", or "path", naming which step of the search located the install. The steps run in that priority order: the LSD_RUNTIME / LSD_HOME env vars, a Windows registry uninstall entry named "LSD Desktop", a well-known install dir, then an executable on PATH.
