I installed Python 3.6 on my windows in the standard manner (IDLE being located at ..Python36-32\Lib)

What I want is for IDLE to default to my virtualenv. Is there a way I can do it?

I searched and found this post but the last reply in the post makes me believe that most of the answers there are for Python version 2.7 How to launch python Idle from a virtual environment (virtualenv)

  • Sorry maybe I should have added. Yes I did go and activate virtualenv via CMD, but I believe that just like in the other post, the issue is more to do with IDLE deciding to pick the default as the "non-virtualenv" Commented Mar 23, 2018 at 21:56
  • What do you mean by "default"? Commented Mar 23, 2018 at 23:03
  • What I meant by "default" was...like when I try to run any python file (even if I just double-click the file), windows should only run it via the virtualenv and never ever go to my standard "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32" folder. If that makes sense? So basically, I am looking for the "isolation" advantage of virtualenv without having to open the CMD window. Commented Mar 24, 2018 at 1:05
