Hello

I have this issue i am trying to resolve. I installed django directly into my Python35 directory without creating a new virtual environment for my project.

However, now i want to create a new virtual environment for a new project. If i make some modifications in django inside this new virtual environment, will it not affect my previous project.? Do i need to install a new django entirely?

Hi Yingi,

Once you create a virtual environment, it is an isolated sandbox. It doesn’t have access to the world outside that sandbox. That includes Django - your virtual environment will need to have Django installed separately, even if your “main” Python 3.5 install already has Django installed.

If you have created the virtualenv with --system-site-packages, you need to tell it "pip install --upgrade django".

Be sure, just double check you're inside the virtual environment.

You should see something like

(your_env)c/path/to/your/project:
