I’ve created a django project with virtualenv on my server. It is an Ubuntu server. I have checked it into svn.
Now I’m on a windows machine and have checked out the project. I noticed however that the activate and deactivate scripts are in bash when created through linux and are .bat files in windows. Furthermore the pip on my windows machine is a exe file where on the project created through ubuntu it’s not.

My question then is: is there anyway to setup my windows environment so that I’m able to work from a windows machine (perhaps installing bash on windows or something), is there something I can do when creating the project through ubuntu to allow for this perhaps
or will I be limited to working on this kind of project via linux?

    Well, you could install cygwin.

    But you’re doing it wrong, really. You shouldn’t be checking your virtualenv into your repo – just your code. Your code should contain everything you need to recreate your virtualenv on the target machine, which basically just means a requirements.txt file which you pass to pip to reinstall the relevant libraries.
