Windows Issues

  • Some people have reported issues using git bash; try using the

Command Terminal instead.

  • If you’re on Windows 10, you may also want to try Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows you to run a linux command line from within Windows. It is still somewhat experimental, but is useful for developing and testing code written in linux.
  • Virtual environments can sometimes be tricky on Windows. If you

have Python 3.5 or above installed (recommended), this should get you a virtualenv named myenv created inside the current folder:

> c:\Python35\python -m venv myenv

Or:

> c:\Python35\python c:\Python35\Tools\Scripts\pyvenv.py myenv
  • Some people have reported that they have to re-activate their

virtualenv whenever they change directory, so you should remember the path to the virtualenv in case you need it.
