Someone please tell me I'm not crazy, becuase I really feel like I am right now.
Ok so, I'm trying to setup a webapp with python and django using heroku, but I've hit quite an odd obstacle.
It wants me to setup a virtualenv
using the command $ virtualenv venv --distribute
, which is all well and good except:
yeh, so naturally I googled how to install virtualenv and I found this:
But, of course:
So I continued my search by trying to find out how to install pip and I found this:
Aaaaaaand that's when I completely lost my marbles because apparently you need to install pip to install virtualenv to install pip. (maybe not, but that's why I'm a noob and I need help).
But then I took another look at the vitualenv installation guide, and found that I could download it and install it manually, so I extracted all the files from the downloaded archive into my python33
folder and used setup.py install
. And I got this:
So I changed the line in that file to except ValueError as e
and I got another error from a different python file in that same folder so I reverted the change I made and decided that it probably was not a good idea to meddle with those scripts.
Please, any help at all to do with setting up a free server with python and django would be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, I am sorry if my question is stupid, or incorrectly tagged.
