Getting django-admin with multiple versions of Python installed in your Windows machine
Raw
DOC.md

For example:

If you have Python 2.7.13 installed in the PATH env var and you want to leave it alone, but you also want to install the latest Python 3.6.4 version, then you should use virtualenv for Windows.

You'll also need this command to specifically use the target Python version in the target virtualenv, in this case, 3.6.4:

$ mkvirtualenv -p <DRIVE:\path\to\the\latest\Python[version-number]>\python.exe <your-new-virtualenv>

Reference: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/virtualenv-for-different-python-versions#answer-3056562

For example, if your virtualenv is called my-api, this command will install Python 3.6.4 to my-api, and all mentions of python, pip, django, django-admin and whatever packages you install in the future will refer to the one installed in this environment only.
