Why does the ''the path python3 (from --python=python3) does not exist'' error occur?

Question

Here is the program I run:

C:\Users\Sonalika\dev	rydjango1-11>virtualenv -p python3

After I run, it returns an error:

The path python3 (from --python=python3) does not exist

Does anyone have any suggestions for the problem below: the path python3 (from --python=python3) does not exist in the django - How to correct it?

The cause: After researching your program for hours, I find out the reason of this error. This is due to the fact that env searches your PATH for Python rather than any built-in, aliased, or function in the shell. Env won’t detect python because perhaps you defined it as an alias for python3, so the error ”the path python3 (from –python=python3) does not exist” occurs. Solution: You can solve this problem by utilizing this full path:


$ virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 testenvironment
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/nansari/testenvironment/bin/python3
Not overwriting existing python script /home/nansari/testenvironment/bin/python (you must use /home/nansari/testenvironment/bin/python3)
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
$ python --version
Python 2.7.14 :: Anaconda, Inc.
