Pipenv error "No Python at 'C:Python39python.exe' "
Question:
I installed and added Python3.9 and Pip to the PATH through the installer.
python --version
# Python 3.9.7
pip --version
# pip 21.2.4 from C:Users{MyUserName}AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39libsite-packagespip (python 3.9)
I installed pipenv with pip install pipenv and pipenv --version outputs pipenv, version 2021.5.29. Although, if I try to install any package with pipenv, or just enter the pipenv shell and then run python --version, I always get No Python at 'C:Python39python.exe'.
Python sys path is C:Users{MyUserName}AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39, so why does pipenv look into another folder? And how can I fix this?
I’m running all these commands in git bash.
Answers:
I solved this by manually creating C:Python39 and copying python.exe there. Now it works fine.
You will need a copy of get-pip.py
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Next, run the following command to install pip:
python get-pip.py
Also, make sure you have Python in your Windows Environment Variables
Press WIN+R and then type SystemPropertiesAdvanced
In System variables add the Python path
For anyone running into this error, run the following to delete the virtual environment (built with the previous/future version of Python):
cd $project_folder
pipenv --rm
Then rerun this to build your pipenv virtual environment with your new version of Python:
pipenv install
I solved this problem removing the "C:Python39" from the Path (the older Python version I’ve deleted) and leting only the "C:Users{MyUserName}AppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython39" on the Path
So I was having the same problem and I clicked at the pyvenv.cfg file in my virtual environment’s folder. ‘home’ was C:Program Files at default. So I changed it to the right path and it worked.
