Virtualenv

[Eric]

Hi Eric R.,
Probably a naive question but I'm a hardware guy so it's ok :)

Is it possible to use a virtualenv with ExcelPython? Mostly trying to limit the number of packages I need to install in the main python installation.

Thanks,
Eric E.

Hi Eric,
I am not that familiar with VirtualEnv so I couldn't say, however in theory
there shouldn't be a problem as long as the calling process' (Excel's) PATH
environment variable is set up in such a way that ExcelPython looks for
Python27.dll and so on in the desired folder. In addition you can use the
Path parameter when you call PyModule to load the standard Python
libraries from the right place. As a matter of fact I was using ExcelPython
with a portable installation-free version of Python for a while so it
should all work.
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Eric
