Question

As a developer that has worked on more than one python project at once, I love the idea of Virtualenv. But, I’m currently trying to get Komodo IDE to play nice with VirtualEnv on a Windows box. I’ve downloaded virtualenvwrapper-win and got it working (btw, you are using Virtualenv on windows you should check it out):

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenvwrapper-win

however, I can’t quite figure out what I need to do to get Komodo IDE to respect it all. I found the following for Mac users:

But, so far, no luck. I’m pretty sure that I need to set a postactivate script to set some environment variables for Komodo to pick up.

Has anyone gotten this working before?

I’m using:

Win7, Python 2.6, Komodo IDE 6.1.3

Thanks in advance!

I finally ended up posting the same question on the ActiveState forum. The reply was that it doesn’t officially support VirtualEnv, yet. But, that you can make get it to work by adjusting the paths, etc. Here is the link to the question/reply.
