使用冠层和python 2.7的Venv

Question

I have installed canopy express and changed the path variable so now I have it as my default python (I am using version 2.7 of python).

Now I am having an issue trying to create a virtual environment as canopy does not work with virtualenv and I must use venv.

When I try to create my enviroment with

>>> venv -u path\directory

I get this error

  File "<stdin>", line 1
venv -u canopy
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any ideas of what might be wrong?

Answer 1

The venv command should be issued from a "Canopy Command Prompt" window (eg from a C:> prompt), not at a Python prompt as you are doing. You can open a Canopy Command Prompt from the Windows Start Menu or from the Tools menu in the Canopy application.
