I am using Python 2.7 + virtualenv version 1.10.1 for running myproject project. Due to some other projects requirement I have to work with another version of Python (3.5). For this I have installed Python in my user directory. Also I have downloaded and installed virtualenv (version 15.1.0) into my user directory.
But whenever I am trying to create virtual env I am getting the below error
python virtualenv/virtualenv.py myproject
Using base prefix '/home/myuser/python3'
New python executable in /home/mount/myuser/project_python3/myproject/bin/python
ERROR: The executable /home/mount/myuser/project_python3/myproject/bin/python is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is '/home/myuser/python3' (should be '/home/mount/myuser/project_python3/myproject')
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable
What am I doing wrong here and how do I solve it?
Use:
python3 -m venv ./path-to-new-venv
This is the recommended way to create virtual environments.
Historically, a wrapper command pyvenv was provided for this. However, the wrapper was deprecated in Python 3.6, and removed in 3.8.
