I'm working with Django right now and when I installed it through the command prompt I made a virtualenv called test, now I went into vs code and I am trying to open it up by saying workon test but it's not going into the virutalenv. I am on windows and I am using visual studio code.
To open virtual env through command prompt,
run, activate.bat
\test\Scripts\activate.bat
for bash run,
source test/bin/activate
just go to the left below corner where your python version is written click it, it will open the command palette where select the virtual env. (with its name) that's is test and press ok.
After that open new terminal and you will get what you want
In cmd typing test/Scripts/activate worked, but in vscode terminal, I had to cd till the Scripts and then type .\activate.

I have recently changed computers and I can't fix this 'issue'.
I'm working with Python now and of course I have installed the official Python extension for VS Code. There are options to activate the Python virtual environment at startup as you know, but it is using the Scripts\Activate.ps1 command to do it and it fails always. It works by using manually the Scripts\activate command.
How can I set the Python extension to use the activate command instead of Activate.ps1?
My default terminal is cmd in Visual Studio Code and I'm on Windows 11.
I do not want to switch to the Powershell terminal if possible. I'm fine the CMD.
You can change the command that VS Code's Python extension uses to activate the virtual environment by modifying the python.pythonPath setting in your VS Code settings.json file. Here's how to do it:
Open VS Code and go to File -> Preferences -> Settings
Search for python.pythonPath
Scroll down to the "Python Path" section and click "Edit in settings.json"
In the settings.json file, add the following:
"python.pythonPath": "~/mypath/virtualenv/Scripts/activate"
Save and restart
I am getting this message on the VS Code that "Python is not installed. Please download and install python before using the extension." There is also the "Select Python Interpreter" on the bottom left hand side of VS Code.
P.s: I installed Python through Anaconda
Select Python Interpreter
Proof that path is correct for python.exe
I do have Python and Python extension installed which works within the VS Code terminal.
Working Python in VS Code Terminal
Thank you in advance for your help!.
what you can do is click on enter an interpreter path and then click Find and select the python.exe file manually. that will create a .vscode folder with the settings.json file.
and as the conda environment (base) is active, you can just write python3 main.py to run the file.
I'm new to pycharm, virtualenv, linux and git.
I've recently begun a journey of using djangoto make webapps. Before I used sublime to make scripts however now a more complex project management system such as pycarm was needed. I actually wanted to get a linux VM and go down that road but was advised that windows python IDE such as pycharm would be suitable
I recently learnt the importance of dependencies and how to use virtualenv. However in this tutorial, under the 'How do I use my shiny new virtual environment?' it starts using commands such as:
ls env
and
which python
Neither of which my pycharm console would understand.
I could use a console emulator such cmder to use the commands but then I would remove the convience of using the IDE's integrated one.
Should I upgrade to a linux VM ? Or can I install a package that allows me to use such commands in PyCharm.
As a bonus question, what are the commands in that tutorial ? are they linux commands? when ever i see $ .... is that the linux console ?
You can accomplish this using Vagrant: https://www.vagrantup.com/
You can use Vagrant and VirtualBox to setup a Linux VM (distro of your choice) and then install all of your Python dependencies in the VM. Once you have that setup, you can tell PyCharm to use the Python interpreter in your VM by following these steps:
Open the project settings dialog box in PyCharm.
Expand Project: (your project name) on the left side.
Click on Project Interpreter.
Click on the cog icon on the upper right side of the window and select Add Remote.
Click on the Vagrant radio button.
In the Vagrant Instance Folder box, select the directory your Vagrantfile is located in.
In the Vagrant Host URL box, make sure ssh://vagrant#127.0.0.1:2222 is specified.
Click OK.
Since Vagrant is compatible with Windows this solution should work for you. I have done it successfully using macOS and it works great. Good luck!

I got this to work on Windows 10 with Anaconda Prompt. This terminal which comes with Anaconda, creates a "base" environment with a linux-like virtual machine and your Windows file system (C:\\) mounted to /c, and has bash installed with common Unix commands like cd, ls, chmod, echo, cat, ... Running programs from bash with access to environment variables is much nicer than Windows Powershell etc.
Now to get your Terminal in Pycharm to use Anaconda Prompt instead of cmd.exe, I followed this answer. After installing Anaconda and/or Anaconda Prompt, right-click -> Open File Location -> right-click the shortcut -> Properties -> copy file path. Then use your file path instead.
Conda is great for package environment management. Learn more about it here. For Django + Conda specifically, read here. You can also use pip to install from Python package indexes, github repos, and requirements.txt files instead. Unless you know how Anaconda Prompt works, I don't recommend creating your own environments from scratch. What worked for me was:
(base) C:\Users\wassadamo> conda create -n mynewenvironment --copy base
...
(base) C:\Users\wassadamo> conda activate mynewenvironment
(mynewenvironment) C:\Users\wassadamo> ls
folderA folderB file.txt
Works!
Whenever I try running conda deactivate to leave the base environment, my bash commands would stop working. So clone base as above.
Another tip: if you want to run shell scripts from Terminal within PyCharm with Anaconda Prompt this way, then execute them (e.g. "run.sh") on command line with
bash run.sh
I tried putting this on the first line of my run.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
And running it with
./run.sh
But this had the effect of running it in an external Anaconda Prompt instance (add sleep, or some user input command to force it to wait and see for yourself). Explicitly running my .sh files with bash had the desired effect of running them in the same shell as I started them in PyCharm Terminal configured with Anaconda Prompt.
When I double-click on pycharm.sh, Ubuntu lets me choose between "Run in Terminal" and "Run". What is the difference between these options?
To make it a bit more user-friendly:
After you've unpacked it, go into the directory, and run bin/pycharm.sh.
Once it opens, it either offers you to create a desktop entry, or if it doesn't, you can ask it to do so by going to the Tools menu and selecting Create Desktop Entry...
Then close PyCharm, and in the future you can just click on the created menu entry. (or copy it onto your Desktop)
To answer the specifics between Run and Run in Terminal: It's essentially the same, but "Run in Terminal" actually opens a terminal window first and shows you console output of the program. Chances are you don't want that :)
(Unless you are trying to debug an application, you usually do not need to see the output of it.)
The question is already answered, Updating answer to add the PyCharm bin directory to $PATH var, so that pycharm editor can be opened from anywhere(path) in terminal.
Edit the bashrc file,
nano .bashrc
Add following line at the end of bashrc file
export PATH="<path-to-unpacked-pycharm-installation-directory>/bin:$PATH"
Now you can open pycharm from anywhere in terminal
pycharm.sh
For Pycharm CE 2018.3 and Ubuntu 18.04 with snap installation:
env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/pycharm-community_pycharm-community.desktop /snap/bin/pycharm-community %f
I get this command from KDE desktop launch icon.
Sorry for the language but I am a Spanish developer so I have my system in Spanish.
As mentioned in the above answer, by updating the bashrc file you can run the pycharm.sh from anywhere on the linux terminal.
But if you love the icon and wants the Desktop shortcuts for the Pycharm on Ubuntu OS then follow the Below steps,
Quick way to create Pycharm launcher.
1. Start Pycharm using the pycharm.sh cmd from anywhere on the terminal or start the pycharm.sh located under bin folder of the pycharm artifact.
2. Once the Pycharm application loads, navigate to tools menu and select “Create Desktop Entry..”
3. Check the box if you want the launcher for all users.
4. If you Check the box i.e “Create entry for all users”, you will be asked for your password.
5. A message should appear informing you that it was successful.
6. Now Restart Pycharm application and you will find Pycharm in Unity dash and Application launcher.."
First, go to that folder which is containing pycharm.sh and open terminal from there. Then type
./pycharm.sh
this will open pycharm.
bin folder contains pycharm.sh file.
You can launch PyCharm from terminal using pycharm-community or pycharm-professional if installed via snap. See here for more details: Location of PyCharm after install PyCharm as snap package
Yes just go to terminal
cd Downloads
ls
cd pycharm-community-2021.2.2 (your pycharm version)
ls
cd bin
ls
./pycharm.sh
It will open your continued pycharm project
I did the edit and added the PATH for my Pycharm in .bashrc but I was still getting the error "pycharm.sh: command not found".
After trying several other things the following command resolved the issue which creates a symbolic link.
sudo ln -s /snap/pycharm-community/267/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/local/bin/pycharm
The first is location to the exact path to pycharm.sh and the second is user bin which should be on PATH env by default
Official docs says if you have installed pycharm at this location: /opt/pycharm/bin/pycharm.sh then you can make it callable from terminal by using this command:
ln -s /opt/pycharm/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/local/bin/pycharm
I have installed the Enthought Python distribution on my computer, but I don't have any idea how to use it. I have PyLab and IDLE but I want to run .py files by typing the following command:
python fileName.py
I don't know where to write this command: IDLE, PyLab or Python.exe or Windows command prompt. When I do this in IDLE it says:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Please help me to figure this out.
Open a command prompt: Press ⊞ Win and R at the same time, then type in cmd and press ↵ Enter
Navigate to the folder where you have the ".py" file (use cd .. to go one folder back or cd folderName to enter folderName)
Then type in python filename.py
Indeed, the command to run a Python file should be run in the command prompt. Python should be in your path variable for it to work flexible.
When the python folder is added to path you can call python everywhere in the command prompt, otherwise just in your python install folder.
The following is from the python website:
Windows has a built-in dialog for changing environment variables
(following guide applies to XP classical view): Right-click the icon
for your machine (usually located on your Desktop and called “My
Computer”) and choose Properties there. Then, open the Advanced tab
and click the Environment Variables button.
In short, your path is:
My Computer ‣ Properties ‣ Advanced ‣ Environment Variables In this
dialog, you can add or modify User and System variables. To change
System variables, you need non-restricted access to your machine (i.e.
Administrator rights).
Another way of adding variables to your environment is using the set
command in a command prompt:
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\My_python_lib
If you do it via My Computer, then look for the line named path in Enviroment Variables. Give that the value of your Python installation folder.
Set PYTHON variable to point to the full path of python.exe.
Then type in command prompt console window:
C:\path_to_folder\ python filename.py
