Python Forum

Dear all,

I am doing the CodeCademy Python 3 course and there is a video explaining how to install pipenv. I am stuck thow because my setup seems to be entirely different and a lot of key concepts are actually not well explained.

So I installed Python 3.x with Anaconda.Navigator and I also have Spyder 4.1.5. When I tried to find out which exact version of Python I have by opening python command line and entering "python --version" I get the error "name "python" is not defined". Which is odd because I obviously have Python. I also tried to install pipenv from Spyder by entering "pip install --user pipenv" which seems to work smoothly (I get something like "Requirement already satisfied: pipenv in .\site-packages (2020.11.15)").

However, when I try to start pipenv, I also get an error message "NameError: name 'pipenv' is not defined".

This is all very confusing.

Best,
Toby

It looks like you try to run pipenv as python code (I guess inside pythn interactive shell, that is when you have >>>). NameError is error from inside python.
It's should be executed in the terminal/cmd.
