I've set up PyCharm, created my virtualenv (either through the virtual env command, or directly in PyCharm) and activated that environment as my Interpreter. Everything is working just fine.
However, if I open a terminal using "Tools, Open Terminal", the shell prompt supplied is not using the virtual env; I still have to use source ~/envs/someenv/bin/activate within that Terminal to activate it.
Another method is to activate the environment in a shell, and run PyCharm from that environment. This is "workable" but pretty ugly, and means I have major problems if I switch environments or projects from PyCharm: I'm now using the totally-wrong environment.
Is there some other, much-easier way to have "Tools, Open Terminal" automatically activate the virtual environment?
Edit:
According to https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/whatsnew/#v2016-3-venv-in-terminal, PyCharm 2016.3 (released Nov 2016) has virutalenv support for terminals out of the box
Auto virtualenv is supported for bash, zsh, fish, and Windows cmd. You
can customize your shell preference in Settings (Preferences) | Tools
| Terminal | check Activate virtaulenv
you also need to make sure to have the path of virtual environment path included in the content root folder of your project structure. You can go to settings (preference) | project | Project Structure | if your environment is not included in the project directory.
***Old Method:***
Create a file .pycharmrc in your home folder with the following contents
source ~/.bashrc
source ~/pycharmvenv/bin/activate
Use your virtualenv path as the last parameter.
Then set the shell Preferences->Project Settings->Shell path to
/bin/bash --rcfile ~/.pycharmrc
Update:
The preferences in Settings (Preferences) | Tools | Terminal are global.
If you use a venv for each project, remember to use current path variable and a default venv name:
"cmd.exe" /k ""%CD%\venv\Scripts\activate""
For Windows users: when using PyCharm with a virtual environment, you can use the /K parameter to cmd.exe to set the virtual environment automatically.
PyCharm 3 or 4: Settings, Terminal, Default shell and add /K <path-to-your-activate.bat>.
PyCharm 5: Settings, Tools, Terminal, and add /K <path-to-your-activate.bat> to Shell path.
PyCharm 2016.1 or 2016.2: Settings, Tools, Terminal, and add ""/K <path-to-your-activate.bat>"" to Shell path and add (mind the quotes). Also add quotes around cmd.exe, resulting in:
"cmd.exe" /k ""C:\mypath\my-venv\Scripts\activate.bat""
For Windows users when using PyCharm and a virtual environment under Windows, you can use the /k parameter to cmd.exe to set the virtual environment automatically.
Go to Settings, Terminal, Default shell and add /K <path-to-your-activate.bat>.
I don't have the reputation to comment on the earlier response so posting this corrected version. This really saves a LOT of time.
Update:
Note: Pycharm now supports virtual environments directly and it seems to work well for me - so my workaround not needed anymore.
Somehow a small trick worked for me. All you gotta do is change the default terminal from Power shell to CMD.
Open pycharm --> Go to Settings --> Tools --> Terminal
Change the Shell Path to C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe from PS
Check the Activate virtualenv checkbox
Hit apply and open new terminal
It's 2021 you don't need to specify the file path or add the environment variable.
Update: It's 2022 and I run into the same issue
Fix: Follow the above steps and in addition, make sure you have selected the Your virtual env python.exe as your project python interpreter, and that's it
If You are using windows version it is quite easy.
If you already have the virtual environment just navigate to its folder, find activate.bat inside Scripts folder. copy it's full path and paste it in pycharm's terminal then press Enter and you're done!
If you need to create new virtual environment :
Go to files > settings then search for project interpreter, open it, click on gear button and create the environment wherever you want and then follow first paragraph.
I have viewed all of the answers above but none of them is elegant enough for me. In PyCharm 2017.1.3 (in my computer), the easiest way is to open Settings->Tools->Terminal and check Shell integration and Activate virtualenv options.
Based on answers from Peter and experimentation, I've come up with a good "general solution", which solves the following:
Restores the behaviour of a login shell. PyCharm normally runs a login shell, but --rcfile stopped this happening. Script still uses --rcfile, but attempts to emulate the INVOCATION behaviour of a login shell.
Removes the need to create an rcfile for each environment
Removes the need to update the project settings if you change the environment.
Drop this script into a bin directory somewhere. E.g. ~/bin/pycharmactivate
if [ -r "/etc/profile" ] ; then . /etc/profile ; fi
if [ -r "~/.bash_profile" ] ; then
. ~/.bash_profile
elif [ -r "~/.bash_login" ] ; then
. ~/.bash_login
elif [ -r "~/.profile" ] ; then
. ~/.profile
fi
ACTIVATERC=`cat .idea/workspace.xml | perl -n -e 'print "\$1/bin/activate" if m:option name="SDK_HOME" value="\\\$USER_HOME\\\$(.*)/bin/python":'`
if [ -n "$ACTIVATERC" ] ; then . "$HOME/$ACTIVATERC" ; else echo "Could not find virtualenv from PyCharm" ; fi
Then set PyCharm's Shell path to:
/bin/bash --rcfile ~/bin/pycharmactivate
PyCharm 4 now has virtualenvs integrated in the IDE. When selecting your project interpreter, you can create, add, or select a virtualenv. They've added a "Python Console" that runs in the configured project interpreter.
More info here.
Thanks Chris, your script worked for some projects but not all on my machine. Here is a script that I wrote and I hope anyone finds it useful.
#Stored in ~/.pycharmrc
ACTIVATERC=$(python -c 'import re
import os
from glob import glob
try:
#sets Current Working Directory to _the_projects .idea folder
os.chdir(os.getcwd()+"/.idea")
#gets every file in the cwd and sets _the_projects iml file
for file in glob("*"):
if re.match("(.*).iml", file):
project_iml_file = file
#gets _the_virtual_env for _the_project
for line in open(project_iml_file):
env_name = re.findall("~/(.*)\" jdkType", line.strip())
# created or changed a virtual_env after project creation? this will be true
if env_name:
print env_name[0] + "/bin/activate"
break
inherited = re.findall("type=\"inheritedJdk\"", line.strip())
# set a virtual_env during project creation? this will be true
if inherited:
break
# find _the_virtual_env in misc.xml
if inherited:
for line in open("misc.xml").readlines():
env_at_project_creation = re.findall("\~/(.*)\" project-jdk", line.strip())
if env_at_project_creation:
print env_at_project_creation[0] + "/bin/activate"
break
finally:
pass
')
if [ "$ACTIVATERC" ] ; then . "$HOME/$ACTIVATERC" ; fi
If you have moved your project to another directory, you can set the new path via Settings dialog. And then you need to set this Project Interpreter in the Edit Configuration dialog.
On Mac it's PyCharm => Preferences... => Tools => Terminal => Activate virtualenv, which should be enabled by default.
I just added a script named pycharmactivate to my home directory. Set value of PyCharm (4.0.1) File > Settings > Tools > Terminal > Shell path to /bin/bash --rcfile ~/pycharmactivate.
Maybe not the best solution incase you have different project and virtualenv directories/names but it works for me. This script contains the following 3 lines and assumes your virtualenv has the same name as your project dir.
source ~/.bashrc
projectdir=${PWD##*/}
source ~/.virtualenvs/$projectdir/bin/activate
this is what i am doing:
create a activate_env.bat(windows,maybe .sh in linux) file in the source code folde:
/env_yourenvlocate/scripts/activate.bat
and another file deactivate_env.bat:
/env_yourenvlocate/scripts/deactivate.bat
everytime open the terminal window, just execute the bat file to activate/deactivate the virtualenv, you will stay in source code path, no need to change path to and back.
E:\Projects\django_study\src>active_env.bat
E:\Projects\django_study\src>../env_django_study/scripts/activate.bat
(env_django_study) E:\Projects\django_study\src>
(env_django_study) E:\Projects\django_study\src>deactive_env.bat
(env_django_study)E:\Projects\django_study\src>../env_django_study/scripts/deactivate.bat
E:\Projects\django_study\src>
Following up on Peter's answer,
here the Mac version of the .pycharmrc file:
source /etc/profile
source ~/.bash_profile
source <venv_dir>/bin/activate

Solution for WSL (Ubuntu on Windows)
If you're using WSL (Ubuntu on Windows), you can also open bash as terminal in pycharm and activate a linux virtualenv.
Use a .pycharmrc file like described in Peter Gibson's answer; Add the .pycharmrc file to your home directory with following content:
source ~/.bashrc
source ~/path_to_virtualenv/bin/activate
In Pycharm File > Settings > Tools > Terminal add the following 'Shell path':
"C:/Windows/system32/bash.exe" -c "bash --rcfile ~/.pycharmrc"
Project specific virtualenv
The path to your virtualenv in .pycharmrc does not have to be absolute. You can set a project specific virtualenv by setting a relative path from your project directory.
My virtualenv is always located in a 'venv' folder under my project directory, so my .pycharmrc file looks like this:
source ~/.bashrc
source ~/pycharmvenv/bin/activate #absolute path
source ./venv/bin/activate #relative path
BONUS: automatically open ssh tunnel to connect virtualenv as project interpreter
Add the following to your .pycharmrc file:
if [ $(ps -aux | grep -c 'ssh') -lt 2 ]; then
sudo service ssh start
fi
This checks if a ssh tunnel is already opened, and opens one otherwise.
In File -> Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter in Pycharm, add a new remote interpreter with following configuration:
+--------------------------+---------------------------------+-------+----+
| Name: | <Interpreter name> | | |
| Select | 'SSH Credentials' | | |
| Host: | 127.0.0.1 | Port: | 22 |
| User: | <Linux username> | | |
| Auth type: | 'Password' | | |
| Password: | <Linux password> | | |
| Python interpreter path: | <Linux path to your virtualenv> | | |
| Python helpers path: | <Set automatically> | | |
+--------------------------+---------------------------------+-------+----+
Now when you open your project, your bash automatically starts in your virtualenv, opens a ssh tunnel, and pycharm connects the virtualenv as remote interpreter.
warning: the last update in Windows automatically starts a SshBroker and SshProxy service on startup. These block the ssh tunnel from linux to windows. You can stop these services in Task Manager -> Services, after which everything will work again.
I had the same problem with venv in PyCharm. But It is not big problem!
Just do:
enter in your terminal venv directory( cd venv/Scripts/ )
You will see activate.bat
Just enter activate.bat in your terminal after this you will see YOUR ( venv )
I have a solution that worked on my Windows 7 machine.
I believe PyCharm's terminal is a result of it running cmd.exe, which will load the Windows PATH variable, and use the version of Python that it finds first within that PATH. To edit this variable, right click My Computer --> Properties --> Advanced System Settings --> Advanced tab --> Environment Variables... button. Within the System variables section, select and edit the PATH variable.
Here is the relevant part of my PATH before editing:
C:\Python27\;
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pip\;
C:\Python27\Scripts;
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\bin;
...and after editing PATH (only 3 lines now):
C:[project_path]\virtualenv-Py2.7_Dj1.7\Lib\site-packages\pip;
C:[project_path]\virtualenvs\virtualenv-Py2.7_Dj1.7\Scripts;
C:[project_path]\virtualenvs\virtualenv-Py2.7_Dj1.7\Lib\site-packages\django\bin;
To test this, open a new windows terminal (Start --> type in cmd and hit Enter) and see if it's using your virtual environment. If that works, restart PyCharm and then test it out in PyCharm's terminal.
If your Pycharm 2016.1.4v and higher you should use
"default path" /K "<path-to-your-activate.bat>"
don't forget quotes
On Windows, if you have already have the virtualenvironment eg. 'myvenv' located within the project root, you can activate it from the terminal as below:
.\myvenv\Scripts\activate
Calling the activate from the virtualenv you desire to activate, activates the virtualenv.
You know it is activated when you see the change:
C:\Projects\Trunk\MyProject>
to
(myvenv)C:\Projects\Trunk\MyProject>
I had the similar problem of not having venv activated in pycharm terminal (Pycharm version 2021.2.2). Just simply follow the steps below.
Go to "settings -> tools -> terminal" then at the bottom of that window check if "Activate virtualenv" is having a tick or not, if not then make sure that box is ticked.
Then in the middle part of that window check the the shell path is set to "cmd.exe" or not, if not then set it to "cmd.exe" (it will have it's path associated with it so no need to do anything just click on "cmd.exe" from the drop down list) then click on "apply" button below and click "ok".
Now it's done, just close your opened terminal and re-open it. You will see "venv" in front of your project path.
P.S: Don't mind the double quotes in my answer they are just for highlighting the texts, nothing more.
Had the same issue, this is how I solved it:
All you gotta do is change the default terminal from Power shell to CMD.
Open pycharm --> Go to Settings --> Tools --> Terminal.
Change the Shell Path to C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe from PS.
Check the Activate virtualenv checkbox.
Hit apply and open new terminal.
If you're using windows with wsl2, the only thing that worked for me (November 2022) was:
go into Pycharm terminal definition
paste:
wsl.exe -- bash --rcfile <(echo '. ~/.bashrc; source <path-to-your-virtial-env>/bin/activate')
inside the 'Shell path' box.
Then every time you open the terminal the virtual environment would be activated.
Another alternative is to use virtualenvwrapper to manage your virtual environments. It appears that once the virtualenvwrapper script is activated, pycharm can use that and then the simple workon command will be available from the pycharm console and present you with the available virtual environments:
kevin#debian:~/Development/django-tutorial$ workon
django-tutorial
FlaskHF
SQLAlchemy
themarkdownapp
kevin#debian:~/Development/django-tutorial$ workon django-tutorial
(django-tutorial)kevin#debian:~/Development/django-tutorial$
This method should work with arbitrary virtual environments per project and it doesn't make assumptions on your environment as it is using hooks you create.
You write:
A global script that invokes the hook
A hook script per PyCharm project (not mandatory)
Given that the current latest PyCharm (Community 2016.1) does not allow for Terminal settings per project start with the script that invokes the project specific hook. This is my ~/.pycharmrc:
if [ -r ".pycharm/term-activate" ]; then
echo "Terminal activation hook detected."
echo "Loading Bash profile..."
source ~/.bash_profile
echo "Activating terminal hook..."
source ".pycharm/term-activate"
source activate $PYCHARM_VENV
fi
If you are using something other than Bash, invoke your own .bash_profile equivalent should you wish to.
Now set your PyCharm "Tools -> Terminal -> Shell Path" to invoke this script, e.g.: /bin/bash --rcfile ~/.pycharmrc
Finally, for every PyCharm project you need a specific virtual environment activated, create a file within the PyCharm project root .pycharm/term-activate. This is your hook and it will simply define the name of the desired virtual environment for your PyCharm project:
export PYCHARM_VENV=<your-virtual-env-name>
You can of course extend your hooks with anything you find useful in the terminal environment of your particular PyCharm project.
For conda virtual environments on Windows, make sure your batch file is NOT named activate.bat as this will cause a conflict with the conda activate command, resulting in a recursive calling of the batch file.
What works for me is the following Shell path:
"cmd.exe" /k ""C:\FullPathToYourProject\activate-env.bat""
And in the activate-env.bat file:
call activate myenvname
I wanted a separate virtual environment for each project, and didn't care much for having additional files to facilitate this. A solution which you only need to do once and works for all projects is then adding the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile:
if [ -d "./venv" ]; then
source ./venv/bin/activate
fi
This checks if there is a virtual environment where the terminal is being opened, and if so activates it (and of course other relative paths could be used). PyCharm's terminal settings can be left as their default.
PyCharm 4.5.4
Create a file .pycharmrc in your home folder with the following
contents
source ~/.bashrc
source ~/pycharmvenv/bin/activate
Using your virtualenv path as the last parameter.
Then set the shell Preferences->Project Settings->Shell path to
/bin/bash --rcfile ~/.pycharmrc
I don't why, but it doesn't work for me. PyCharm prints an error.
cmd.exe /K "<path-to-your-activate.bat>"
It works, but it creates the same virtualenv for each project, and even if this is not necessary.
This receipt is working! But the string /env_yourenvlocate/scripts/activate.bat must contain quotes, like this "Full_path_to_your_env_locate\scripts\activate.bat"!
Deactivate the virtualenv is very easy - type in the terminal 'deactivate'
(virt_env) D:\Projects\src>deactivate
D:\Projects\src>
One option you have when you enter the terminal >
Run > Debug > Edit Configurations
select the appropriate conda environmnent..
Also when you create a new project - it asks to configure this location.
As you can see, python interpreter is located in venv/bin/python. If you go to this folder, you will see all libraries listed in there
Sooo... as you will think, you use python command with it's path - that means in project path, for example
./venv/bin/pytest
Windows Simple and Easy Solution:
In Pycharm inside the Projects menu on the left there will be folders.
Find the Scripts folder
Inside there you'll find activate.bat
Right click on activate.bat
Copy/Path Reference
Select Absolute Path
Find the Terminal tab located in the middle at the bottom of Pycharm.
Paste it into the terminal console and press enter
If you did it right the terminal path will have brackets (venv) around the name of the folder you activated.
Before: "PS C:\"
After: "(venv) C:\"
Note The folder name may be different than yours the important part is the (brackets) :D

I am getting in error
I am currently using mac
I have created a virtual environment - name of virtual environment: venv
Even if I have installed the modules I am getting module not found error.
I have tried many things
pip list gave me output which shows that the pandas is installed
I also did -> sys.path
The path to my virtual environment is this :
/Users/nidhivanjare/Desktop/ML/venv
The reason might be because you transferred your virtual environment folder to another location (or you copied it from another computer)
This is how to fix it:
Open the /Scripts/activate file inside your virtual environment folder.
Go to the line that has this:
VIRTUAL_ENV="$(if [ "$OSTYPE" "==" "cygwin" ]; then cygpath -u 'Z:\<your NEW folder>'; else echo '/Z/<your NEW folder>'; fi;)"
Change the path to the new location of your virtual environment.
Change it from
Z:\<your OLD folder> and /Z/<your OLD folder>
to
Z:\<your NEW folder> and /Z/<your NEW folder>
If you are using the Command Prompt of Windows, you also have to change the path in the file /Scripts/activate.bat
set "VIRTUAL_ENV=Z:\<folder>"
The standard venv needs a dot before the activate command, like
. ./venv/bin/activate. The first dot is your shell's source command.
I have django project folder with venv environment.
when opening vscode it has terminal opened in vscode.
Is there a way that I don't have to venv/bin/activate all the time when opening the project folder?
Edit (credit to #XJOJIX) from the comment in this answer. This will active the virtual environment without having to close or open terminals. A Python file still needs to be selected to load the Python extension.
Add this parameter in VS Code to "launch.json" or ".code-workspace"
"settings": {
"python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true
}
Previous Answer:
To have a VS Code terminal automatically activate a virtual environment when first launching VS Code:
Close the terminal before exiting VS Code.
Open VS Code. Ensure a Python file is selected to direct VS Code to load the Python extension.
Wait for the Python extension to finishing loading (very bottom
left of VS Code terminal).
Open a new terminal after Python extension has loaded. The venv will automatically activate.
The trick is to open the terminal only after the Python extension has loaded.
If the directory of the terminal contains a virtual environment, VS Code will also automatically activate a virtual environment if a new terminal is opened. As before, a Python file must be selected and the Python extension must be fully loaded.
If you are on a mac OS, the simplest thing is to make ENV for your python projects.
Follow these simple Command in your Vs Code Terminal and you get your ENV activated :
Python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
(The env in the first line is your env name so you can type any name)
Use the command palette to trigger the "Python: select interpreter" command. It should allow you to pick your virtual environment.
The article Using Python environments in VS Code migth be of interest to you.
If you use window machine, it might locate at
env/Scripts/activate
You can run above in your vscode terminal to activate your venv
I want VS Code to turn venv on run, but I can't find how to do that.
I already tried to add to settings.json this line:
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["source${workspaceFolder}\env\Scripts\activate"]
But, it throws me an 127 error code. I found what 127 code means. It means, Not found. But how it can be not found, if I see my venv folder in my eyes right now?
I think it's terminal fault. I'm using Win 10 with Git Bash terminal, that comes when you install Git to your machine.
This is how I did it in 2021:
Enter Ctrl+Shift+P in your vs code.
Locate your Virtual Environment:
Python: select interpreter > Enter interpreter path > Find
Once you locate your virtual env select your python version:
your-virtual-env > bin > python3.
Now in your project you will see .vscode directory created open settings.json inside of it and add:
"python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true
don't forget to add comma before to separate it with already present key value pair.
Now restart the terminal.
You should see your virtual environment activated automatically.
Actually the earlier suggested solutions didn't work for me, instead I added the following in my settings:
"settings": {
"python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "~/venv/bin/python"
}
Of course replace the defaultInterpreterPath (used to be pythonPath) setting with your own path (so don't copy/paste the second line).
You don't need this line at all. Just remove it and switch your Python interpreter to point to the one within your venv. Here's a relevant documentation (italicized emphasis mine):
To select a specific environment, use the Python: Select Interpreter
command from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
... and
opening a terminal with the Terminal: Create New Integrated Terminal
command. In the latter case, VS Code automatically activated the
selected environment.
Once you switch the interpreter VS code should create a .vscode folder within your workspace with a settings.json indicating the python interpreter. This will give VS code the direction of where to locate the venv.
There is a new flag that one can use: "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true
my scenario was pretty much the same. I am running VSCode on Windows, wanting to used git bash as my default Terminal but after the venv got created, it was doing some weird stuff when a Terminal would open where it couldn't find the correct python interpeter in the venv/Scripts folder even though I did ctrl-shift-p a bunch of times to reset it to the python.exe there. I also wanted to make sure the activate script was run on Terminal open. I just couldn't get the debugger to work right and it kept complaining that it could not find the python interpreter, so I basically couldn't debug at all.
So for anyone who is having weird stuff happen trying to use a Git Bash Terminal in VSCode in Windows related to a python project using a virtual env, here is what I found out;
I noticed that when I opened a new Git Bash Terminal, and looked at the $PATH variable to make sure it could find the interpreter in the venv, the path to the venv/Scripts folder would be prepended to the $PATH, but not with linux path separators like everything else in $PATH but with a Windows style path;
echo $PATH
C:\Users\blah\Documents\blah\Stock-down\Dev\this_api\venv/Scripts:/c/Users/blah/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/bin:/c/Users/blah/bin:/c/Program Files/Go/bin:/c/Python39/Scripts:
So whenever I would try to debug, or just even run which python, It would get confused and thought the interpreter was in here;
which python
C:\Users\blah\Documents\blah\Stock-down\Dev\this_api\venv/Scripts/C/Users/blah/Documents/blah/Stock-down/Dev/this_api/venv/Scripts/python.exe
I ran the "printenv" command in the Terminal to see what env vars were getting set and why the venv interpreter path was getting messed up. And I found a env var I didn't know existed - VIRTUAL_ENV. But I didn't know how it was getting set or where it came from. After some pain, and hunting around I found it - when you run "python -m venv venvname" to create the virtual env in the project folder, as you know, it creates the activate (and activate.bat for windows) scripts in the ./venv/Scripts folder. Inside these files this VIRTUAL_ENV variable is not only exported, but but prepended to the $PATH variable on Terminal open with the "/Scripts" folder name added in linux path style. The problem with is that it sets the VIRTUAL_ENV value with windows type path - I know its painful and wrong to do this, but I just changed it to what Git Bash is expecting, see below;
#unset irrelevant variables
deactivate nondestructive
#VIRTUAL_ENV="C:\Users\blah\Documents\blah\Stock-down\Dev\this_api\venv"
VIRTUAL_ENV="/c/Users/blah/Documents/blah/Stock-down/Dev/st_api/venv"
export VIRTUAL_ENV
_OLD_VIRTUAL_PATH="$PATH"
PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/Scripts:$PATH"
export PATH
Now when a new Git Bash Terminal is opened it prepends the venv/Scripts path correctly to $PATH;
echo $PATH
/c/Users/blah/Documents/blah/Stock-down/Dev/st_api/venv/Scripts:/c/Users/blah/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/mingw64/bin:/usr/bin:/c/Users/blah/bin:/c/Program Files/Go/bin:/c/Python39/Scripts:
I also made a copy of the executable python.exe in the ./venv/Scripts dir and just called it "python" and now the command "which python" works and I can debug fine. I still set ctrl-shift-P when I choose the interpreter in VSCODE to "python.exe" when I just use "find" during the selection.
For more information on VIRTUAL_ENV var, see this doc -- python venv docs
It feels like jumping through a bunch of hoops I know, but this way I can open a new Git Bash Terminal, have the activate script run correctly on Terminal Open, debug, and operate normally without having to float between Git Bash AND WSL Ubuntu AND Powershell, etc.
My environment started to activate automatically after the advice from this article
When you create a new virtual environment, a prompt will be displayed
to allow you to select it for the workspace. This will add the path to
the Python interpreter from the new virtual environment to your
workspace settings. That environment will then be used when installing
packages and running code through the Python extension. For examples
of using virtual environment in projects, see the Python, Django, and
Flash tutorials.
My solution was to create /.vscode/settings.json manually
Here is the tree;
├───django
│ ├───.vscode
│ │ ├───settings.json
I created /.vscode/settings.json then added this code in settings.json (I am using windows so I used double backslash for path location otherwise it gives unicode error, and don't copy paste this, find your own .virtualenvs)
{
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "C:\\Users\\Talha\\.virtualenvs\\django-okd21pq9\\Scripts\\python.exe"
}
I've installed Anaconda and set Path environment variable to C:\Anaconda3; C:\Anaconda3\Scripts.
Then I try to run in Git Bash
conda install python
But there is an error message "bash: conda: command not found". I would like to know why.
To be able to run conda on gitbash you need to add it to the path. Many times I've seen that's done by default - as shown in the setup for this workshop. If it doesn't, as it seems your case, then you can run their setup directly by running:
. /c/Anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
After running that you should be able to run conda commands.
To keep this setup permanently you can add such line on your .profile or .bashrc file (read more about their differences). A way of doing so is running the follwing:
echo ". /c/Anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.profile
You may encounter problems if the path where Anaconda was installed contains spaces (e.g., C:\Program Files). In that case you would need to change the anaconda location or edit conda.sh script with something like:
sed -e '/^_CONDA_EXE=.*/a alias myconda="${_CONDA_EXE/ /\\\\ }"' \
-e 's/\$_CONDA_EXE/myconda/g' /c/Program\ Files/Anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh > conda_start.sh
This sed command inserts a new alias definition myconda which changes the anaconda path from Program Files to Program\ Files so bash doesn't stop with an error like this one:
bash: /c/Program: No such file or directory
The second sed command replaces the _CONDA_EXE variable by the new alias created.
Since the above doesn't modify the file provided by anaconda, you will need to update your .profile file to load the file we've just created, conda_start.sh, instead.
First, you need to move to the directory where conda is located.
(some path such as C/Anaconda3/Scripts or ../miniconda3/Scripts or anaconda3/bin)
then, open the terminal.
(or, if you use Windows and can't find where the conda is, try moving to directory such as C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda3 (64-bit) and open the Anaconda prompt.)
Then, do this:
conda init
or something like
conda init bash
if you use Mac OS:
conda init zsh
will work well.
if you wanna use different shell,
conda init [shell_name]
[shell_name] can be: bash, cmd.exe, fish, powershell, tcsh, xonsh, zsh, etc.
use conda init --help for more info.
Joining #dvdgc13. In my case, I fixed the problem by adding
. C:/Users/user/Anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
to my .bash_profile.
I tried to do the same thing as you did but I couldn't get it to work. starriet had the working answer but I am going to make it easier for everyone else reading. You can directly open command windows with explorer instead of struggling with paths.
Find your Anaconda3 folder with Windows Explorer This could be a user install where would be in your user folder such as "C:/Users/your_name/Anaconda3".
Shift + Right Click on the explorer and click on "Open PowerShell Windows Here". Note: you can just click "Git Bash" and you open Bash instead which makes no difference to the command.
Type in "conda init" in the PowerShell window. This works even if you don't have the right paths because the command line looks for the right exe in the current dictionary. If you scroll down in the explorer, you should be able to find it.
My PowerShell window would look a little different than yours because of my prompt but it makes no difference.
Exit the PowerShell and open Git Bash. Type "conda" to confirm that things work.
For MAC users, do this:
$ echo ". /usr/local/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
I tried many ways, but they are incomplete until I run the following commands:
Go to the path of anaconda3 is C:\Users\USER_NAME\anaconda3 and open commend line over there and print the following: (YOUR_PATH = C:\Users\USER_NAME\anaconda3 )
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:[YOUR_PATH]:[YOUR_PATH]/Scripts"' >> .bashrc
echo 'alias python="winpty python.exe"' >> .bashrc
If Git bash is opened, close it and reopen it again and type the following to make sure anaconda and python work without problems:
conda --version
python -- version
If you see the versions are printed, everything works well.
In my case conda command was recognised in cmd, but not in bash. I used conda init bash instead of simple conda init in cmd.
This command modified the .bash_profile file, which was residing in my C:\Users\xyz directory, and added the following code in it
# >>> conda initialize >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
eval "$('/C/Users/Saifullah/miniconda3/Scripts/conda.exe' 'shell.bash' 'hook')"
# <<< conda initialize <<<
now it is working in bash terminal too.
I am just starting to set up virtual environments for my Python projects.
Up to now I have used and like Geany for development and testing.
When I set up my new virtual environment, what will I need to set in Geany to make sure it runs my Python code in the appropriate venv?
Thanks!
Start by creating a project file that resides in your venv folder. Then, point to the Python interpreter that resides in the venv folder using the build configuration feature. These actions will allow you to run the correct Python interpreter for each virtual environment you create and not affect the configuration of other virtual environments, other project configurations, or your base configuration.
To set Geany up so that it runs Python code in the appropriate venv, follow these steps:
1) Verify Geany is set up for Project Sessions. To do this, go to the main menu, select 'Edit', then 'Preferences'. The Preferences window will appear. Select the General Tab, then select 'Miscellaneous' tab. Now look at 'Projects' section on the tab. Verify both 'Use project-based session files' and 'Store project file inside the project-based directory' are selected.
2) Create a Geany project file in your venv folder. To do this, go to the main menu, select 'Project', then select 'New'. Give the project a name and save it in your virtual environment folder.
3) Configure the build commands for the above project. To do this, go to the main menu, select 'Build', then select 'Set Build Commands'. A window will appear. Look for the 'Execute' button on the bottom left of the window. In the command box next to the 'Execute' button type in the complete path to the bin folder in your venv folder that contains the Python interpreter you wish to run, then add "%f" to the end of the command. For example, my virtual folder is in home/my_virtual_env_folder and I want to run the Python3.4 intrepreter in that folder, so I would type in:
/home/virtual_env_folder/bin/python3.4 "%f"
Click 'OK' and the changes you made will be saved. Now when you open the project you just created, the project file will automatically point to the correct Python interpreter for the venv you are working in.
I am using Windows 10 and conda virtual environments, which I first have to activate before use. I was able to use these conda environments in Geany 1.36 by doing the following:
Go to menu: Edit - Preferences, in there go to Tools tab and in Terminal, type the following:
cmd.exe /Q/C conda activate envname && %c
Replace "envname" with the name of your conda virtual environment.
&& will also pass the argument %c to the execution line.
%c will pass the command in execute command from Geany (step 2).
Go to menu: Build - Set Build Commands, in there go to "Execute commands" section, and in Execute Command, type the following:
python "%f"
%f will pass the name of the file that you are executing from.
In the end it's like you are executing the following (assuming your python file is "script.py"):
cmd.exe /Q/C conda activate envname && python script.py
This worked for me. Just a note, when I installed miniconda, I added it to the PATH variables in Windows 10. That is why I don't have to add the path where the activate.bat or python.exe are located, they are already declared in the PATH variable from Windows.
This works for win10/11 python venv, in a cmd window, enter:
cmd /k path\to\venv\activate\activate.bat
in a .bat file to get a cmd widow then type geany.
Or a .bat file with:
path\to\activate.bat && Z: && cd Z:\path\to\project && python project.py
double click will launch your python file and destroy the cmd window on exit.
