A Python script that activates the virtualenv and then runs another Python script?
You can activate your virtualenv and then start server using a bat file.Copy this script in to a file and save it with .bat extension (eg. runserver.bat)
@echo offcmd /k "cd /d C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\venv\Scripts & activate & cd /d C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\helloworld & python manage.py runserver"Then you can just run this bat file (just double click) to start the server
runserver.bat:
CALL [your path]\Scripts\activate.bat python manage.py runserver
If you want call virtualenv'ed Python directly you can do something like this:
C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\venv\Scripts\bin\python.exe manage.py runserverDouble check python.exe location on your virtualenv folder - don't remember how it is out of my head. This Python associates itself with the virtualenv and uses its site-packages by default.
