Re: wxPython installation fails - solved

Hi Phil,

Virtual environments are easy. I usually put them in my project directory and then update my .gitignore file to, well, ignore them. 😂

The syntax to create the virtual environment is:

python3 -m venv <directory>

To activate the virtual environment:

Linux / OS X command line

source <directory>/bin/activate

Windows command line (or you can set up a special terminal to launch the batch file)

<directory>Scripts/activate.bat

From this point I usually do:

pip install —upgrade pip setuptools wheel

then I use pip to install any other packages I need.

To deactivate the virtual environment just go to the command line where the virtual environment was launched and enter:

deactivate (Linux/OS X)

	or

deactivate.bat (Windows)
