Setup in windows #66

Closed Vlissides closed 9 years ago

Vlissides commented 10 years ago

Virtualenvwrapper isn't prepared for windows you can use instead virtualenvwrapper-win. Also during the installation of the libraries which are based on c modules, a windows user can have problems if they doesn't have visual studio or at least its libraries. They can use instead precompiled modules from here http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ however they won't have a virtual environment.

@Vlissides did you try MSYS or MinGW, or Git's Bash? virtualenvwrapper works there, as well as gives you a compiler.

Ah ok i understand, so it works if you use it in some kind of bash in windows. I used just the regular cmd.

A gentle soul on reddit came up with a workaround to get things working with the virtualenv instructions on Windows:

Thanks for adding the steps - it's still missing the mktemp.exe bit though

Updated - hopefully the setup works now (I have no Windows machine easily accessible right now to test). Will push update to site later today.
