通过Cygwin在Heroku上设置Django应用，安装pip时出现权限拒绝错误

Question

I'm trying to deploy a Django app on Heroku using http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django . I just so happen to use Windows, so I've been working via Cygwin (please don't judge me >< ). In short, everything is fine until I run "virtualenv venv --distribute". When I run this, regardless of where I run it, I get a permission denied error. Here's the output:

$ virtualenv venv --distribute
New python executable in venv/bin/python2.6
Not overwriting existing python script venv/bin/python.exe (you must use venv/bi
n/python2.6.exe)
Installing distribute...........................................................

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1141, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Things I've already tried:

• run Cygwin as an administrator (the Windows-equivalent to sudo)
• chmod 777'ed EVERYTHING known to man
• banged my head against the wall

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

Hmm, I think you'd be best to follow the instructions I've written here:

http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/install/win/

Once everything's working properly in a normal windows environment, they should also work properly in cygwin or msys.
