"The path python3 (from --python=python3) does not exist" error

Question

I have added python36/Scripts in the environment variable's path file and python36 as well is added. But it still shows the following error

Command = C:\Users\Sonalika\dev\trydjango1-11>virtualenv -p python3

Error I receive:

The path python3 (from --python=python3) does not exist

Answer 1

try something like this, here C:/Python36/python.exe give the full address of python3 executable

virtualenv env -p C:/Python36/python.exe

Answer 2

Using full path will address this issue.

$  virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 testenvironment
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/nansari/testenvironment/bin/python3
Not overwriting existing python script /home/nansari/testenvironment/bin/python (you must use /home/nansari/testenvironment/bin/python3)
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
$  which python3
/usr/bin/python3
$  python --version
Python 2.7.14 :: Anaconda, Inc.
$  

Answer 3

if you have already python in you PATH, sure it works by default with python, no python3. you just have to run virtualenv -p python env
