It's likely that a virtual environment on the USB stick wouldn't be different than one in the user's folder, as generally full paths are used.
But to be fair, that depends on what version of venv of virtualenv is used to create it. Older versions on linux/macos had full paths on the scripts shebangs, as relative paths don't work, but newer versions might be using some tricks where the shebang call a shell program that admits relative paths.
For windows it would depend on how the venv/virtualenv creates the python.exe and pip.exe, the last few times I've looked at the exe hex dumps full paths were used, so I think that might still be the case

@tmontes as always,
pup appeared to JustWork :tm: (link to signed Windows installer coming in a moment)
OK..... so I have a meeting to prepare for, but here's a link to the signed Windows explorer. Please give it a go and let me know how you get on! https://www.dropbox.com/s/lmcm80rggtikacb/Signed-Mu-Editor-1.1.0b7.msi?dl=0
Assuming we can merge any outstanding translations and so on, I think we're on for 1.1 final.
Anyway -> meeting
(in a rush, but for future discussion: there’s a serious limitation WRT to portable Mu - not packaging related but VENV related - if Mu moves around, the venv will be deemed invalid, I suspect)
Hi all!
Publisher: Nicholas Tollervey! Yeah!!!!
After pressing "Run anyway" I got the "Welcome to the Mu Editor" windows and it took like 30 seconds to move on (automatically, without the need to press "Next").
Windows 10 Pro 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1415)
PS: it did a parallel installation, right next to the former 1.1.0b7 not-signed msi.
I did say that the "organisation" for the certificate was "The Mu Editor" but I guess that metadata isn't displayed.
Turtleroids / Asterutles
The ship is definitely the Turtleprise :D
Very good.
So, I was wondering that. To make it work I needed to use IE to import the certificate file into the keyring such that the CNAME referenced in the pup related envar was available. Not sure if pup could just reference the cert file itself..? I'm not sure. Or perhaps there's a way to automate the import of the cert (needs investigation), although I followed some sort of multi step wizard built into IE. Worth investigating, and I may take a look over the weekend. We can't be the first to think of this.
(I was feeling paranoid when requesting the certificate and followed their most-trusted certificate instructions walk through)
I guess we need to just work out what the IE based wizard actually does to import the certificate so the CNAME is referenceable in the envar for pup.
Basically, I was doing this: https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-sign-windows-drivers-installer?view=all#install-certificate-1711783-23
Just taken a quick Google, and it looks like this might be the underlying command: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/certutil#-installcert But I'm not sure how to get around the password challenge when installing the certificate.
Anyway.... something for the weekend.
Good Enough! Thanks! I'll start with "the Mu Editor" and after someone is along in the tutorial/info I'll drop to "Mu" just to show I embrace SparseNess...
OTHER: What facility has been used to author the animated instructions in CodeWith.mu etc.? I might want to do something like that for students.

Hi Terry. Great question: looking forward to knowing the answer. Meanwhile I looked for a simple way to transform videos to GIF and there is a Library for that - moviepy! https://pypi.org/project/moviepy/ You only need to record a screen video, and that depends on your OS, but should be easy to do. I will give it a try myself. Cheers
https://www.screentogif.com/ seems to be the go-to tool for Windows. It has a portable version (always nice).
Hi Everyone, I'm seeing a funny non-working result thart USED to work:
---( CLASSIC BLINK)---
while True:
led.value(1) # turn LED on
sleep(0.5)
led.value(0) # turn LED off
sleep(0.5)So that uses PinName.value(0or1)
BUT I was ReadingTHeDocs and saw you could do led.on or led.off it WORKED:
----( version 2)----
while True: # (FOREVER here )
led.on # turn LED on
sleep(0.5) # 1/2 second
led.off # turn LED off
sleep(0.5)
i = i + 1
print("I = ", i)
sleep(1.0)---(end)----
This runs (I can see the prints) but the pin with LED does not light or change...
?? SHould I NOT use that pin.on type statement? I swear it worked the first couple of times...
THANKS, No Functional Problem but I am trying to decrease confusion for newbies...
Regards, Terry

I won't be able to attend today's moot either, work it's been crazy as well, so I don't have much of an update anyway.
The only thing I wanted to mention is that if anybody has any free time to look into the issue creating venvs with spaces in the username that would be great, as that is still the most common crash report we get these days: https://github.com/mu-editor/mu/issues/1926#issuecomment-994687363

One more thing... I think we're ready for 1.1-final release. I'd like to have a go/no-go decision at next week's meeting and I'm going to try to merge as many things as I find outstanding this week. I further propose that we soon follow 1.1 with a 1.2 but with Python, PyQt, and other library dependencies bumped up to their latest version. I also think we should include the Snek mode in 1.2 (so we have an added feature too). This way old-equipment users have 1.1 and nice-and-shiny users get 1.2. As with everything, all this is "moot" and up for discussion and feedback since I enjoy our working together as a consensus based thing, and with everyone having the opportunity to give feedback and constructive criticism. This intervening time will also give me a chance to try to get the docs on the website 1.1 ready. Thoughts..?

I also have some Windows laptops I could use to try to recreate the #1926 venv issue with spaces in the username.
I guess folks have seen this SO exchange on status code 101 (looks promising): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61371606/returned-non-zero-exit-status-101-giving-an-error-when-i-tried-create-a-virtual
Feels like a permissions problem, perhaps related to the non-signed version folks have been using..? Perhaps antivirus is getting in the way? shrug
