Hello, I have posted this same question on stackoverlfow.

I am going through the Google Cloud Platform's Python Bookshelf App Tutorial and I am at the step of starting up my virtualenv where I am stuck.

Running virtualenv -p python3 env produces this error:

⇒  virtualenv -p python3 env



Running virtualenv with interpreter /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3

Using base prefix '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6'

New python executable in /Users/myUserName/Lab/gae-bookshelf-app-python-flexible-experiment/getting-started-python/2-structured-data/env/bin/python3

Also creating executable in /Users/myUserName/Lab/gae-bookshelf-app-python-flexible-experiment/getting-started-python/2-structured-data/env/bin/python

Please make sure you remove any previous custom paths from your /Users/myUserName/.pydistutils.cfg file.

I had followed this guide to set up my python development environment. I searched the internet for a solution but I haven't had luck getting pass this step.

What is causing the issue and how can I fix it?

Thank you.
