On Windows Vista, I need a script that starts the activate (to activate the virtualenv) script in:
C:\\Users\\Admin\\Desktop\\venv\\Scripts
I am using Anaconda 3 and python 3.7.6 on Windows. Had to do this in my .bat file:
CALL path\to\base\virtual\environment\Scripts\activate.bat path\to\your\virtual\environment [path\to\your\virtual\environment]python.exe path\to\your\script\yoursript.py
Without activate.bat nothing works. I was getting an error about mkl-server. This error is described here https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/15523. People complained there about conda being broken, i.e. just calling python.exe yoursript.py does not work.
