I want to start my first Django project using python in VSCode. I've gathered that I need to create a virtual environment, and I'm trying to use pipenv for this. I've installed Pipenv correctly, but when I run "pipenv shell" it gives me an error, syntax error: "invalid syntax". Why is this happening? How can I solve it?
Ensure you choose the right pip environment (if you are having multiple versions of python running on your system) at the time of installing pipenv.
Run
pipenv --helpto see if pipenv is working otherwise.PS: giving the entire snip of the error that you are getting from the terminal prompt would be helpful.
I've recently re-installed python, and deleted the old versions I had.
When running 'pipenv --help' I get
'''
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 help(pip)
NameError: name 'pip' is not defined
'''
It's better to launch it through Python itself, aka run
python3 -m pipenv installandpython3 -m pipenv shell:)Fixed it. Thank you for the help👌
What fixed the issue?
Beginner mistake. Installing python via Anaconda is not the same as installing python. I just installed python independently😅
Ah ok !
You might want to use Poetry instead.
Does Poetry work the same?
Have you created the virtual environment using something like 'python -m venv .venv' ?
No I haven't. Should I?
It's using python3
venvpackage, which is used by pipenv :)The command creates the virtualenv, and then you need to activate it with
. .venv/bon/activate
