I have a machine with Centos 7 installed. By default Centos 7 comes with python 2.7 installed. I have added python 3 but I didn't not change the PATH as I don't want to mess with the default python version used by the operating system.
Now I want to create a project using python 3 and the latest version of django so I have created a virtual environment using the command:
python3 -m venv python3-RIGS-venv
if I try to activate it using:
source python3-RIGS-venv/bin/activate
I get the following error:
Badly placed ()'s.
I assume because the default python is 2.7 and not 3 that I have used to create the venv. I have also tried:
python3 python3-RIGS-venv/bin/activate
with the following result:
File "python3-RIGS-venv/bin/activate", line 4
deactivate () {
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
and finally:
cd python3-RIGS-venv/bin/
. activate
that gives the following error:
./activate: Permission denied.
So the question is how do I activate a venv created with python3 but on a machine running python 2 as default?
CodePudding user response:
In the venv/bin/
catalog are scripts for activating a virtual environment for different shells. For csh use activate.csh
.
