Question

I have freshly installed Python 3.3 (x64) and PyWin32, and then did the following (mindeningyen-env is the directory of the virtualenv, mindeningyen is the name of the app):

distribute_setup.py
easy_install virtualenv
virtualenv --no-site-packages mindeningyen-env
cd mindeningyen-env
Scripts\activate
easy_install pyramid
pcreate -s alchemy mindeningyen
cd mindeningyen
setup.py develop
pip install waitress

And then I get the following trace:

(mindeningyen-env) D:\prg\mindeningyen-env\mindeningyen>pserve development.ini
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas why it doesn’t find the project?

Answer 1

If using virtualenv (either installed, or python builtin), one shouldn’t say things like
setup.py develop, because that will use the python interpreter, which is found in registry. One should ensure the virtualenv is activated Scripts\activate, and after that every python run should use python, so, the correct form is:

python setup.py develop
