Cannot install venv; toml.decoder.TomlDecodeError Found invalid character
See original GitHub issueIssue description
When creating a virtual environment, I’m able to initially create the venv
however there is an error which occurs after it is created. I’m using pyenv
to manage my python versions.
✔ Successfully created virtual environment!
Then
toml.decoder.TomlDecodeError: Found invalid character in key name: '\'. Try quoting the key name. (line 1 column 2 char 1)
Expected result
When I run $ pipenv install --three
I expect the venv
to be created, and then be able to add packages to it.
The things I think it might be are:
- When looking at my python versions I see
/Users/me/.pyenv/versions/3.7.1/bin/python3.7m
and I’m not sure what them
is - When creating the
venv
it’s looking for a Pipfile that does not exist in the project folder, but rather one directory up. And I’m not sure why it is looking there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Actual result
project git:(master) ✗ pipenv install --three

I am having the same issue. It started after I removed my pycache in my package folder. I uninstalled pipenv and I am still hitting the same error. I removed pipenv and all associated venv’s and I still cannot get it to work. Any help would be appreciated.
To close this, I had a malformed Pipfile.
I’m new to pipenv and so it’s trying to convert my requirements.txt file but that file includes specific subset libraries in brackets (e.g.
django-webserver[pyuwsgi]
). How do I make this work?
