I've been using virtualenv lately while developing in python. I like the idea of a segregated development environment using the --no-site-packages option, but doing this while developing a PyGTK app can be a bit tricky. The PyGTK modules are installed on Ubuntu by default, and I would like to make a virtualenv (with --no-site-packages) a...
So, I want to start using virtualenv this year. I like the no-site-packages option, that is nice. However I was wondering how to install certain packages into each virtualenv. For example, lets say I want to install django into each virtualenv... is this possible, and if so, how? Does buildout address this? ...
Is there something similar to the Python utility virtualenv? Basically it allows you to install Python packages into a sandboxed environment, so easy_install django doesn't go in your system-wide site-packages directory, it would go in the virtualenv-created directory. For example: $ virtualenv test New python executable in test/bin/p...
I have Pydev installed and running without problem with Python 2.6. I installed Pylons 0.9.7 RC 4 into virtual environment, then configured new interpreter to pint into virtual environment and this one is used for pylons project. My problem is that code auto completion does not work for a classes from base library (one that are installed...
I'm trying to write (what I thought would be) a simple bash script that will: run virtualenv to create a new environment at $1 activate the virtual environment do some more stuff (install django, add django-admin.py to the virtualenv's path, etc.) Step 1 works quite well, but I can't seem to activate the virtualenv. For those not fam...
I've been using virtualenv on Ubuntu and it rocks, so I'm trying to use it on my Mac and I'm having trouble. The virtualenv command successfully creates the directory, and easy_install gladly installs packages in it, but I can't import anything I install. It seems like sys.path isn't being set correctly: it doesn't include the virtual s...
I am unable to use nose (nosetests) in a virtualenv project - it can't seem to find the packages installed in the virtualenv environment. The odd thing is that i can set test_suite = 'nose.collector' in setup.py and run the tests just fine as python setup.py test but when running nosetests straight, there are all sorts of import e...
I have a project and I am trying to run nosetests with coverage. I am running in a virtualenv. When I run $ python setup.py nosetests The tests run fine but coverage is not showing that any code is executed (coverage is all 0%). Name Stmts Exec Cover Missing --------------------------------------...
I would like to have a different PYTHONPATH from my usual in a particular virtualenv. How do I set this up automatically? I realize that it's possible to hack the bin/activate file, is there a better/more standard way? ...
I'm using virtualenv and the virtualenvwrapper. I can switch between virtualenv's just fine using the workon command. me@mymachine:~$ workon env1 (env1)me@mymachine:~$ workon env2 (env2)me@mymachine:~$ workon env1 (env1)me@mymachine:~$ However, how do I exit all virtual machines and workon my real machine again? Right now, the only w...
I'm trying to use SQLAlchemy under a virtualenv on OS X 10.5, but cannot seem to get it to load whatsoever. Here's what I've done mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages test easy_install sqlalchemy I try to import sqlalchemy from the interpreter and everything works fine, but if i try to import sqlalchemy from a python script, I get the fol...
When using virtualenv in combination with the MinGW compiler on Windows, compiling a C extension results in the following error: C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lpython25 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status ...
I need to get Python code, which relies on Python 2.6, running on a machine with only Python 2.3 (I have no root access). This is a typical scenario for virtualenv. The only problem is that I cannot convince it to copy all libraries to the new environment as well. virtualenv --no-site-packages my_py26 does not do what I need. The lib...
Does anybody have directions for getting Eclipse (Galileo), PyDev, and Virtualenv working together? I'm specifically trying to run Pinax but any instructions are fine. I thought I had it (and even blogged everything but the final step - interactive debugging) and still there is no solution. I'm specifically on OS X but any answer shou...
I'm trying to install Plone 3.3rc4 with plone.app.blob and repoze but nothing I've tried has worked so far. For one attempt I've pip-installed repoze.zope2, Plone, and plone.app.blob into a virtualenv. I have this version of DocumentTemplate in the virtualenv's site-packages directory and I'm trying to get it running in RHEL5. For some ...
I want to run my fabric script locally, which will in turn, log into my server, switch user to deploy, activate the projects .virtualenv, which will change dir to the project and issue a git pull. def git_pull(): sudo('su deploy') # here i need to switch to the virtualenv run('git pull') I typically use the workon command ...
Can someone please explain to me what is going on with python in ubuntu 9.04? I'm trying to spin up virtualenv, and the --no-site-packages flag seems to do nothing with ubuntu. I installed virtualenv 1.3.3 with easy_install (which I've upgraded to setuptools 0.6c9) and everything seems to be installed to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-pa...
Hi fellow pythonistas, there seems to be a problem when virtualenv is used in PowerShell. When I try to activate my environment in PowerShell like.. > env/scripts/activate .. nothing happens. (the shell prompt should have changed as well as the PATH env. variable .) I guess the problem is that PowerShell spawns a new cmd. process jus...
I was under the impression that virtualenv --no-site-packages would create a completely separate and isolated Python environment, but it doesn't seem to. For example, I have python-django installed globally, but wish to create a virtualenv with a different Django version. $ virtualenv --no-site-packages foo New python executable...
Seems everyone recommends virtualenv for multiple python versions (on osx), but does it even work with python 3.0? I downloaded it, and it doesn't seem to.. And I don't really understand how it works, Can you 'turn on' on env at a time or something? What I want is to leave the system python 2.5 (obviously), and to have python 3.1.1 with ...
