title: Python virtual environment creation error(Permission Error 13)
body: <p>I know this has been asked several times; however I'm yet to see a topic using the Windows (Windows 10, FYI) Command console <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46222367/errno-13-permission-denied-python-as-a-windows-service">and actually being resolved</a></p>
  
  <p>So, the problem starts when I try to create a new virtual environment from the CMD in a certain folder which is called <strong>web_scraper</strong>, I have successfully installed the latest version of <code>pip</code> and I have Python 3.6.1; also, I've created another virtual environment before and even installed Flask in it, and yes, also did a successful mini-try in the localhost.</p>
  
  <p>When I type this into the CMD to create a new venv, this happens:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Nilor2000\Desktop\Proyectos\web_scraper&gt;virtualenv venv
  
  ...[lots of yadayada that all comes down to this:]
  
  PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\Nilor2000\\Desktop\\Proyectos\\web_scraper\\venv\\lib\\os.py'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Now, this is the <em>interesting</em> part</strong>, since I use PyCharm to code, it automatically creates a <code>venv</code> folder for every new project, which contains everything for a virtual environment, so I did a separate test folder, copied the <code>venv</code> folder which comes by default and it was then that I had to just <strong><code>activate</code></strong> it, <strong>not</strong> create it. And it was <strong>there</strong> with that "default" <code>venv</code> folder that I could run the localhost test and install Flask.</p>
  
  <p>So, my final question is: What is wrong with my system that won't allow me to create a new <code>virtual environment</code>?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I have the rights of admin</p></li>
  <li><p>Already installed everything I need to create and run <code>venv</code>s</p></li>
  <li><p>Yes, I already ran the CMD as admin, didn't work</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Please, someone help, I don't want to copy and paste the same <code>venv</code> folder for every project :(</p>

  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>So, if somebody is facing a similar problem and can't create a new <code>virtualenv</code> <strong>but</strong> has <code>pip</code> and the <code>virtualenv</code> resource installed, you can download it separately.</p>
  
  <p>I've created a GitHub repository for that particular case, <a href="https://github.com/CommieTaco/venv-for-py3.6" rel="nofollow noreferrer">It's this one</a></p>
  
  <p>If you decide to use it, please let me know if it works :)</p>
