virtualenvwrapper does not work in Windows. You should use regular virtualenv instead. Read this: http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#usage Note that this blog post is HEAVILY *nix-specific, and that Windows is a bad environment for Python development (especially Web development). I personally recommend you just get a virtual machine running some Linux instead of playing with Windows. -- Chris “Kwpolska” Warrick <http://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post | only UTF-8 makes sense _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
