no info given on the magical conversion of the web site to a project. I just started a new VS project and it was more straightforward.

I am following your tutorial and you did something with your mouse 5:15 and add some files somewhere and creat python project, it's really hard to see what you did, can you wrote instructions if you have time thank you

'virtualenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

any one have idea

Mac users -- we don't do Script/activate (like you see in the video). Instead, we do this:

source env/bin/activate

That will put you into the (env) just like the Windows version. Yay, Mac OS!

virtual env did not work for me. I just did pip install flask :/
am I missing something with this virtualenv stuff?
I started out with django but wanted to switch to flask so I'm not all "what is this sorcery?"
I had also installed python 3.5 months back so.. I don't have any of those environment folders in my project folder either.
sorry to bug you :/

Edit: after some googling, just did pip install virtualenv.
not exactly straight forward but I got what I needed... I hope lol.

I love this tutorial (series). I am trying to follow along with Visual Studio. When you did Open -> Website and opened flask_movie you had a flask_movie website. Then you did something around 5:20 that changed it into a project but your mouse was not on the screen. Without that step, when I want to add a new item I only get C# and VB choices. It I were to create a new project I can create a Flask web project and Python project. What did you do at 5:20 to change from web site to project? Thanks. (Oh, I see CynicalWhiskey has asked the same question.)

Repo link? New to venv's and the file structure is a bit confusing. When you make the main app.py file is that within the root folder or the venv?

something like a simple twitter or facebook

[napoleon_bonaparte]

Will a conda virtual environment work the same for this kind of stuff?

[kristnnxo]

do we need python 3.5? For some reason "from flask import Flask" only works on my default python 2.7.

Hi, Chris,I just follow as what you do, but when I write this command:'virtualenv env', the error occurs:'virtualenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file', how to solve it?And then I google it and try to install virtualenv, but cannot install it correctly, so can you give me a solution?Thanks!

i tried going In/Out of the virtual env. and execute the file, I see no change per the modified code. help
