Lost here with my windows 8 pc. Need explanation on windows side opposed to mac, it's making me very confused.

I would like to start a venv with django for some web development i am doing, but i just cant seem to get the virtual environment to work. I got it to work on my mac, but now trying with windows, everything seems different. Some help would be fantastic.

What's your specific issue? Once python is install with the PATH set up(which I'm pretty sure the installer does) it's should be almost identical other than a few none python commands.

I also have the same problem, help us sair.

You guys need to be more specific. What errors are you getting? Are having trouble installing it? Having a hard time finding the command prompt?

Saying you have a problem with zero details helps no one. It's like saying there is a bug but not saying how to reproduce it or even what the bug is.
