Using Python 3 in virtualenv
python, python-3.x, virtualenv
Solution
simply run
virtualenv -p python3 envname
Update after OP's edit:
There was a bug in the OP's version of virtualenv, as described here. The problem was fixed by running:
pip install --upgrade virtualenv
Problem
Using virtualenv, I run my projects with the default version of Python (2.7). On one project, I need to use Python 3.4. I used `brew install python3` to install it on my Mac. Now, how do I create a virtualenv that uses the new version? e.g. sudo virtualenv envPython3 If I try: ``` virtualenv -p python3 test ``` I get: ``` Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/local/bin/python3 Using base prefix '/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.0_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4' New python executable in test/bin/python3.4 Also creating executable in test/bin/python Failed to import the site module Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/user/Documents/workspace/test/test/bin/../lib/python3.4/site.py", line 67, in <module> import os File "/Users/user/Documents/workspace/test/test/bin/../lib/python3.4/os.py", line 634, in <module> from _collections_abc import MutableMapping ImportError: No module named '_collections_abc' ERROR: The executable test/bin/python3.4 is not functioning ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is '/Users/user/Documents/workspace/test' (should be '/Users/user/Documents/workspace/test/test') ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable ```
