The latest version of virtualenv supports PowerShell out-of-the-box.

Just make sure you run:

Scriptsactivate.ps1

instead of

Scriptsactivate

The latter will execute activate.bat, which doesn't work on PowerShell.

A quick work-around would be to invoke cmd and then run your activate.bat from within the cmd session. For example:

PS C:my_cool_envScripts> cmd

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.



C:my_cool_envScripts>activate.bat

(my_cool_env) C:my_cool_envScripts>

This error happens due to a security measure which won't let scripts be executed on your system without you having approved of it. You can do so by opening up a powershell with administrative rights (search for powershell in the main menu and select Run as administrator from the context menu) and entering:

set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Inside of the Scripts directory of your virtual environments folder there are several activation scripts that can be used depending on where you are executing the command. If you are trying to activate your virtual env from the Windows PowerShell, try using the following command:

. .envScriptsactivate.ps1

In the event you receive an error about the activation script being disabled on your system, you will first need to invoke an execution policy change on your system. This will need to be done as the administrator.

To do this:

1) Right click on the PowerShell application and select Run as Administrator

2) Run the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

3) Rerun the activation command: . .envScriptsactivate.ps1

try this:
. .envScriptsactivate.ps1

I wrote this quick little script to handle my activation and startup of a dev server.

$ep = Get-ExecutionPolicy



if ($ep -eq 'RemoteSigned') {



    $root = "C:UsersALevenOneDrive!code_projects!django_projects"



    $test = Read-Host -Prompt 'Would you like to activate the python environment? y/n'

    if ($test -eq 'y') {



        $activatestr = ($root + "work_venvScriptsActivate.ps1")

        & $activatestr



    }



    $test = Read-Host -Prompt 'Would you like to run the python server? y/n'



    if ($test -eq 'y') {



        $whichserver = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter the name of the project.'

        $path = ($root + $whichserver)

        $runserverstr = ($path + "manage.py")

        python.exe $runserverstr runserver



    }



} else {



    Write-host "Execution Policy does not allow this script to run properly"

    Write-host "If you have the proper permissions,"

    Write-Host "Please close powershell,"

    Write-host "then right click the powershell icon and run as administrator"

    Write-host "Once in the powershell environment, execute the following:"

    Write-host "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force"



}

Enjoy.
