Re: virtualenv on Windows

You can easily install pillow on windows using 'easy_install pillow' it comes with the necessary binaries and you don't need to compile

Thanks Nick

All this goodness is coming to light just I have (almost) given up Windows altogether. I only need to persuade one more person on my network to walk away from Microsoft and I'm free! FREE!

FYI, virtualenvwrapper was ported to windows:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenvwrapper-win

It works seamlessly like the linux/OSX versions

Hello,

For Windows, I tried many ways that worked but I finally installed
Visual Studio 2008 C++ for the compilation problems and only pillow
and psycopg2 resist in my case (I simply extract the content of the
binaries from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~__gohlke/pythonlibs/
<http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>, copy content from
'SCRIPTS' to project's virtualenv 'Scripts' and 'PLATLIB' to
project's virtualven 'Lib/site-packages'; I'll give a try to the
easy_install with them, thank you).

While speaking of psycopg2, I spent a ridiculous amount of time
struggling with postgresql installation on Windows to finally
discover that you should stick to ASCII for the password chosen on
this platform. (Yes, I missed some warning).

You can use virtualenvwrapper-win on Windows. The documentation is
short and efficient but here is some basic steps, begining from
install:

pip install -U virtualenv pip install -U virtualenvwrapper-win

You have to set WORKON_HOME environment variable to to directory
where will be grouped your virtualenvs to make it convenient.

Update pip and setuptools:

easy_install -U pip pip install -U setuptools

Then, create your virtualenv:

mkvirtualenv myproject

Activate the virtualenv (you will then be on
%WORKON_HOME%/myproject/):

workon myproject

I keep projects in their own directory independant from virtualenv.
To add your project directory to its virualenv's pythonpath, use the
following command where <path> can be full or relative:

setprojectdir <path>

Now, install your requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You can use cdproject and cdvirtualenv commands to go to project and
virtualenv directories.

To go back to the 'general' environment, just type:

deactivate

Additional details you probably already know: remember to not rely
on the registry to execute your python scripts :) for example:

python manage.py runserver

and not:

manage.py runserver

Edit you virtualenv's Script\activate.bat to add any other specific
environment variables and don't forget .pth files for specific python
path.

That's all for today!

Regards, Michel
