The first thing you need to do is make sure you have a working version of Python. Basically, there are three steps in this process: install Python install Cygwin and, install and configure virtualenv. For other information without Cygwin, there are many writings out there. Sure, its possible, but it compared to the breeze that is Linux, its no walk in the park.įor this article, I'm going to write about the process with Cygwin. Even if you run the DOS command line, setting up virtualenv is not so good. Unfortunately, setting up isolated Python environments is less than trivial on Windows, especially if you are running Cygwin as your terminal. On Linux, it's as simple as following the instructions from my earlier post on the topic. In particular, virtualenv / virtualenvwrapper is a cinch on Linux but a pain on Windows. The best part is that packages and dependencies are straight forward to configure. I've done this exact set up so many times, I can darn near do it blind folded.
Lets face it, it's very easy to set up Python, virtualenv and Django on Ubuntu. But for running Apache and Python for web applications, particularly Django ones, I will always choose Linux. For the most part, I use Windows for many things, including developing PHP/HTML websites with Komodo IDE. Python, virtualenv and CygwinĪdmittedly, running Python and Django on Windows is less than fun. On Linux, a trivial task, but not so on Windows.
Great! You now have Python 3 set as the default.Setting Up Python and virtualenv on Windows with Cygwin ~/.bashrcĬheck to see which version of Python is the default. Now that Python 3 is installed let’s change the default version.įor the sake of this article I will be using vi as my text editor, but feel free to use whichever editor you prefer.įind or create the following line and modify it to reflect the version of Python that needs to be the default. sudo yum install -y python36u python36u-libs python36u-devel python36u-pip
Pip will help with installing add-ons in the future. Update so that the install can complete sudo yum updateĭownload and install Python and pip. What we will do now is install Python 3 and then set that version to the default version to use.įirst, install the repository to yum. See that the version of Python installed is 2.7.8. In this article, I will explain how to install Python 3 and how to make this version your default.įirst, let us check to see which version of Python is installed on the OS. For versions older than CentOS 7, the default version of Python is 2.7.x. Your out-of-the-box CentOS system likely already has an installation of Python on it.
