Virtualenv ImportError: no module named urllib3

Question

I installed virtualenv on ubuntu. However, when I try to create virtualenv, I get an error. My Zenv folder does not contain "activate". How can i fix this? I would often do that. This is the first time I get this error.

Answer 1

In my case, I had a python version from my anaconda that interfered with the python that I had in / usr / bin. This worked for me:

 virtualenv my-virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python 

Answer 2

' virtualenv venv ' may use python in anaconda, which may cause a problem.

' virtualenv venv -p / usr / bin / python ' may solve this problem, but your system uses python by default, not python in anaconda.

so that you can use " pip install virtualenv " before installing anaconda and Do not install virtualenv in anaconda.

Answer 3

It solved it for me

 pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/pypi/simple urllib3 

Answer 4

 wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/3b/f0/e763169124e3f5db0926bc3dbfcd580a105f9ca44cf5d8e6c7a803c9f6b5/urllib3-1.16.tar.gz#md5=fcaab1c5385c57deeb7053d3d7d81d59 tar xvf urllib3-1.16.tar.gz && cd urllib3-1.16/ python setup.py install
