django-admin.py and virtualenv issue on Windows

Question

In my system there is Django 1.2.3 installed system wide:

C:\\>python -c \"import django; print django.get_version()\"
1.2.3
C:\\>django-admin.py --version         


        

Answer 1

I had to point the "global python.exe" to my virtualenv in my project so I created my own activate.cmd

set THE_PATH=c:\my-envs\my-specific-env\Scripts
ftype Python.File="%THE_PATH%\python.exe" %%1 %%*
%THE_PATH%\activate.bat

It changes the the file type association using windows command 'ftype'.
