Problem with No pyvenv.cfg file #6

Closed Rust64 closed 4 years ago

Rust64 commented 4 years ago

on Windows 10 64 after install of Python 3.8.5 and after install of decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw <--- and after double click, I get "Python Launcher is sorry to say... No pyvenv.cfg file". I have tried multiple reinstalls of Python to no avail. When a search is performed on the entire C:\ drive, no pyvenv.cfg file is present so c:>python -m venv myenv c:\path\to\myenv does not create the pyvenv.cfg file. The Python Script requires PIP (Google Protobuf and pylibscrypt) and I understand it's included in 3.8.5. Please provide step by step instructions for how to either create or download the pyvenv.cfg file and the exact Python path to folder name it needs to go so I can overcome this error. Or if someone has a different solution, that's fine too... I just need the decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw to work.

Since this is Windows based and not console driven, the file used for execution should be pythonw.exe according to the instructions at https://github.com/gurnec/decrypt_bitcoinj_seed so I right clicked on decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw and went to properties and changed it's association to pythonw.exe so it would run in a non-console manner. After doing this however, it still didn't work with the error "No pyvenv.cfg file". Do you happen to know why the pyvenv.cfg never got created in the first place? After all, when I do a search it's no where to be found on my C: drive.

Why wouldn't the pyvenv.cfg file NOT get created like it's supposed to. After doing a search for it on C: drive it is not found. If anyone has a copy of the file, would you please provide it and also tell me the folder to place it in? Thank you

I was able to find the file pyvenv.cfg online. Could someone tell me where to place it so when decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw is doubled clicked the Python Launcher will find the pyvenv.cfg file and decrypt_bitcoinj_seed.pyw can then see it and use it?
