Which is the best Python virtualenv for Emacs?
Elpy has support for virtual environments built in via Pyvenv. Pyvenv can also be installed as a standalone package. Pyvenv added support for project-specific virtual environments in 2014, but I haven’t experimented with them myself so I don’t know how well it works. If you want to code Python in Emacs, I would recommend installing Elpy.
Where do I find python.exe in Emacs?
Make sure, the directory where python.exe resides, is in the PATH-variable. I had the same problem, and discovered that Emacs can find Python if I install Anaconda in the root of the drive (“C:\\Anaconda3\\”) instead of in my home path.
How to setup a given Python virtualenv?
There’s also auto-virtualenv, which attempts to automate the virtual environment discovery and activation. The simplest solution for me as a Python beginner, elpy venv didn’t work for whatever reason, was to use https://github.com/marcwebbie/auto-virtualenv.
Which is the best virtualenvwrapper for Python?
You may also want to take a look at virtualenvwrapper.el, although Pyenv looks like it has more functionality. There’s also auto-virtualenv, which attempts to automate the virtual environment discovery and activation.
What’s the best way to write Python in Emacs?
If you want to code Python in Emacs, I would recommend installing Elpy. It really simplifies the process of getting a good environment up-and-running, and it is modular so you can deactivate sections over time when you decide you want a more tailored package.
Where to find virtualenv bin directory in Emacs?
The virtualenv’s bin directory is prepended to the PATH environment variable so that when a process is launched from Emacs it is aware of any executables installed in the virtualenv (such as nosetests, pep8, etc.). This comes in handy because you can do M-! nosetests to run your tests, for example.
Which is the default Emacs mode for virtualenvwrapper?
Emulates much of the functionality of Doug Hellmann’s virtualenvwrapper. Works with the new python.el, which is the default on Emacs 24.3 and up. Does not support the older python modes.
