在Windows 8，python 3.3中创建虚拟环境的麻烦

Question

I'm trying to create a virtual environment in Python, but I always get an error no matter how many times I re-install python-setuptools and pip.

My computer is running Windows 8, and I'm using Python 3.3.

E:\Documents\proj>virtualenv venv --distribute
Using base prefix 'c:\\Python33'
New python executable in venv\Scripts\python.exe
Installing setuptools, pip...
  Complete output from command E:\Documents\proj\venv\Scripts\python.exe -c "imp
ort sys, pip; pip...ll\"] + sys.argv[1:])" setuptools pip:

Answer 1

I've found a solution to this problem. Only the latest virtualenv (v1.11) which was released just a few days ago has this problem. Remove the egg from your site-packages folder and install the previous version via easy_install virtualenv==1.10.1 , virtualenv will work fine.

Answer 2

I install virtulaenvwrapper-win and upgrade my virtualenv version to latest (1.11.5) with command:

pip install virtualenv --upgrade

If i write:

mkvirtualenv demo --system-site-packages --python=C:\Python34\python.exe

i see:

python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Python34\Scripts\virtualenv-script.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Solution - using virtualenv, non virtualenvwrapper:

cd C:\www\virtualenvs
virtualenv demo --system-site-packages --python=C:\Python34\python.exe

Now i use workon only for activate/deactivate virtual environment. System: Windows 8.1 x64

Answer 3

With virtualenvwraper==4.7.1 (and probably above), one could just edit mkvirtualenv.bat like this:

uncomment line 48 (remove REM):

virtualenv.exe %*

comment line 49 (add REM)

REM python.exe "%PYHOME%\Scripts\virtualenv-script.py" %ARGS%
