Python Hangs While Executing Pip And Virtualenv And Brings No Results

I tried to set up a virtual environment for my project by executing virtualenv myenv. The folder seemed to be generated, but the command hung, and I couldn't execute another comman

Solution 1:

A simple solution to this (which does work) would be to use Powershell as an Administrator, instead of cmd.

Conversely, use cmd as an administrator, though I would recommend using the much-more powerful Powershell for any and all purposes!

Why this works:

A lot of commands need super-user rights (think root/ sudo in linux) in order to be properly executed.

Since there is no such thing as as sudo in Windows yet, you can implement it via admin privileges.

Cheers!
