[ creating python virtual environment on windows 7 ]

I wanted to create a python virtual environment in Windows 7. I have installed activepython 2.7 32 bit version and installed virtualev using pip command. After that I created a folder named "virtualenv", on drive C. For that folder I have executed the following command.

virtualenv <virtualenv-name>

While executing this command it opens a python file named virtualenv.py. While closing the file, it does not prompt to be saved.

While checking on C:\virtualenv\ I was not getting the virtual environment that I tried to create.

Answer 1

From command line execute:

virtualenv MY_ENV

It will create a virtual env in MY_ENV folder. Than activate it:

MY_ENV\Scripts\activate

Also check the virtualenv user guide.
