Which python version do I use with virtualenv?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium. As a non-techy, I want to use virtualenv I had Python 2.6 on my laptop. I needed easyinstall to install virtualenv. During installation of easyinstall, I got the message Python 2.5 not found So I installed Python 2.5, then installed virtualenv So I now have c:\Python 2.5 and c:\Python 2.6 On the virtualenv web site, the instructions for use are: $ python virtualenv.py ENV My question is, which python should I use on this command line: 2.5 or 2.6? BTW: I am currently running a Python app using 2.6. I want to install a beta upagrade of this app, without interfering with my current setup, so the app developer recommends using virtualenv. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Which python version do I use with virtualenv?
Thanks to both Steven D'Aprano and Ant :) Sounds like you've downloaded the Python 2.5 version of Easy Install. There's no Python 2.6 version of EasyInstall :( For 2.5, there is: setuptools-0.6c9.win32-py2.5.exe But for 2.6, it's: setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg For any other egg file, I would use EasyInstall, but I don't think I can use EasyInstall to install EasyInstall :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I wonder what I've been running then?
For 2.5, there is:
setuptools-0.6c9.win32-py2.5.exe
But for 2.6, it's:
setuptools-0.6c9-py2.6.egg

No, but you can use ez_setup.
Go tohttp://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.pyand save the content
of that file as ez_setup.py (cut and paste into your favourite editor may
be the simplest way) then run it with your chosen Python. It will find and
install the appropriate version of easy install.

ez_setup worked fine. Thanks for that :)
According to the web site:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
the next step is to do:
virtualenv ENV
If I do that, I get the following message:
C:\Python26\Scriptsvirtualenv ENV
Traceback (most recent call last):
File C:\Python26\Scripts\virtualenv-script.py, line 8, in module
load_entry_point('virtualenv==1.3.3', 'console_scripts',

Any advice?

Install the win32 extensions or install the 2.6 Activestate release.

Thanks for the response :)
Where do I find the win32 extensions?

Separate Windows versions of Python
I use Windows Vista Home Premium. I have Python 2.6 currently installed. I'm not a techy. I want to use virtualenv. When I try to install the latest version of virtualenv for Windows, I get the message that Python 2.5 is not found. How do I install Python 2.5 (or anything else except 2.6) so that I use the correct version of Python at the correct time. For example, do I need to edit the path variable each time that I want to change versions from 2.5 to 2.6? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Separate Windows versions of Python
Many thanks for the very detailed answer :) I will go ahead right now and implement all your suggestions.

For example, do I need to edit the path variable each time that I want to change versions from 2.5 to 2.6? On windows, major versions (..., 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, , 3.0, 3.1, ...) can coexist quite successfully. Find and run an installer for the latest version of 2.5 (2.5.4, I believe) on the Python download page. That will make 2.5 your default Python. To switch the easiest way (for you) is uninstall the version of python you want to be the default, then install it again (making it the last one installed). This suggests keeping installer binaries for all version you are using. Note that the this uninstall-reinstall should not affect you loaded Python packages that you have installed separately. To simply run a python program with a different python (but not change the default), open a command window (run program / cmd), sometimes called a terminal window and use command: C:\ C:\Python24\python program.py # command line version or C:\ C:\Python24\pythonw program.pyw # gui verson You can also change shortcuts to refer to specific Python versions. Of course, the different Python versions should also be available on your start menu. However, Starting with Python 2.6, if you want user-specific installation, you can also create and put things in (for example), C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\ Python\Python26\site-packages where you replace USER with the user name in question. If you are not planning to do a lot of switching, that might be enough for you. The base directory is also called %APPDATA% on a command line or via os.path.expandvars. Once you have created this site-packages directory, Python 2.6 and later will use it to find .pth, .py, .pyw, and .pyd files (as well as .pyc and .pyo files). You may find changing your personal site-packages directory (and/or a .pth therein that you manipulate) will address the issues that you are planning to solve with virtualenv. Sorry for the long-winded answer. --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org in addition to the common site-packages directory on -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
