I am running Wing 7.1.3.2 under Windows 10.

I am writing an app which uses flask. I installed virtualenv because it is recommended in the Flask docs.

I believe that followed your How-To and created the project using your Flask template. I then configured my project's Python Executable to the copy of python in my virtualenv directory.

When I am open my project, and I run the app using Wing's main "Start or continue debugging" button, everything works as expected, ie it uses my virtualenv.

But if I create a Wing OS Command, and leave it to default all of the Environment properties to my project settings, it is not using the virtualenv ... ie. my app cannot import from flask, as it is only installed in the virtualenv at this stage.

And in the Python Shell tool, I can see that it is not using the project's virtualenv either, ie. sys.executable points to the standard Python3 location.

is this expected? Can I use the Wing OS Command facility inherit my project's virtualenv? Should the Wing Python Shell tool inherit it's Python environment from the active project.

I don't know if it is relevant, but I am not writing a full flask app ... ie. I am only using its WSIG test server, so that I can control my app via html, when it is running on a headless device. So I am starting flask running manually, from inside of my app. Should I have used your Flask template? ... What does it do?

thanks
