I made a venv using py -m venv .
but then running py .\Scripts\activate just gives me this error:
What am I doing wrong?
The activation script is a shell script that sets up your shell, not a python script.
venv — Creation of virtual environments — Python 3.13.7 documentation shows the commands to use to activate the environment for different shells.
In general, you should not cd into a venv directory. You would do something like:
> py -m venv .venv
> .venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
Thank you. I was able to activate it by running .\test\Scripts\Activate.ps1 but only after running Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass first. It works though!
