Question

I\'m deploying a Django app to a dev server and am hitting this error when I run pip install -r requirements.txt:

Traceback (most recent call la         


        

Answer 1

In my case, I had 2 python versions installed initially and later I had deleted the older one. So while creating the virtual environment

virtualenv venv

was referring to the uninstalled python

What worked for me

python3 -m virtualenv venv

Same is true when you are trying to use pip.
