IndexError when using linter about pycaching HOT 5 CLOSED

I gave it another try and finally could activate the virtualenv. With the change inside the setup file concerning sys.argv the error messages have disappeared.

Strange, everything works fine on my machine, when trying to setup the repo the same way.

I have added a virtualenv setup guide to CONTRIBUTING.rst. Can you please try it again with these new steps?

One more question – are you sure that you are using Python >= 3.3?

Setting up a virtual environment does not cause any problems in the first step, but with source bin/activate I get an error message by the Windows command line saying that the command source could not be found.

Calling python --version says Python 3.6.0a3 which should meet the >=3.3 requirement.

Okay, can you please try out this branch? I suspect the Windows implementation of a runpymodule.

@FriedrichFroebel I think you cannot activate the virtualenv like this on windows... There is no such thing as source which is why the command line complains about that. According to the virtualenv documentation you should use

On Windows, the equivalent activate script is in the Scripts folder:

\path\to\env\Scripts\activate

And type deactivate to undo the changes.

Based on your active shell (CMD.exe or Powershell.exe), Windows will use either activate.bat or
activate.ps1 (as appropriate) to activate the virtual environment. If using Powershell, see the notes
about code signing below.
