virtualenv in PowerShell?
The latest version of virtualenv supports PowerShell out-of-the-box.
Just make sure you run:
Scripts\activate.ps1instead of
Scripts\activateThe latter will execute activate.bat, which doesn't work on PowerShell.
My original answer is now outdated. Now, just use activate.ps1 (rather than activate.bat) to activate from a Powershell environment.
Original answer:
Here's a post that contains a Powershell script that allows you to run batch files that persistently modify their environment variables. The script propagates any environment variable changes back to the calling PowerShell environment.
A quick work-around would be to invoke cmd and then run your activate.bat from within the cmd session. For example:
PS C:\my_cool_env\Scripts> cmdMicrosoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\my_cool_env\Scripts>activate.bat(my_cool_env) C:\my_cool_env\Scripts>
