Virtualenv stoped working on my machine, without me knowing what I changed. It looks like pip install on global packages instead of venv. I checked all the related question on stackoverflow and could not find a answer that resolved my issue.
So here it is. I'm using Manjaro and python 3.7.
What I do :
mkdir test_venv
cd test_venv
python3 -m venv env
It effectivly creates the folder env with all the good stuff. The $VIRTUAL_ENV in the env/bin/activate is good "/home/MyName/PythonProjects/test_venv/env"
which pip
before activating the venv it returns /home/MyName/.local/bin/pip
source env/bin/activate
I'm effectivly entering the venv
which pip
returns /home/MyName/PythonProjects/test_venv/env/bin/pip and same for python3
pip install requests
Installing collected packages: certifi, idna, urllib3, chardet, requests
Successfully installed certifi-2019.6.16 chardet-3.0.4 idna-2.8 requests-2.22.0 urllib3-1.25.3
And pip-freeze return nothing and trying to do an import requests in a test.py file return "No module named requests"
Do you have any ideas what could I try ? I tried to reinstall python-pip package with pacman, changed nothing.
Thanks ! Have a good day
I had the same problem, also with Python3.7 and Manjaro. I found the fix in this answer for Pip won't install packages in virtualenv.
Set the "user" parameter to false in "/etc/pip.conf".
