How to create a virtual environment under Windows (by default)

Many small partners usually use Python, some projects need to use Python2 to develop, and some projects need Python3 to develop. When it is unclear how to separate the environment, at this time the two environments began to fight, each other silly points are not clear. Virtual environment as a weapon of isolation came into being, in fact, the greatest advantage of virtual environment is to isolate our development environment, so that each other unaffected. Today, the small series to give you a brief introduction of how to create a virtual environment under Windows, the specific tutorial is as follows.

1, the virtual environment needs to use the library is virtualenv, need to use the installation command PIP install virtualenv to install, as shown in. Of course, the small part of this has been installed before, so when the installation of the hint that the library already exists.
