Installation

Problems creating a virtual environment

If you have several python installations, and some are not included to your PATH variable, it might happen that the creation of a virtual environment results in Error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified.

In this case the solution can be to give to full path to your python executable whilst creating the virtual environment: C:\path\to\your\python\python.exe -m venv prf_venv

Execution

Infinite Loop: General logfile is being used by another process

Ensure if your run-script contains if __name__ == "__main__". If this is missing, it can crash the multiprocessing in a Windows environment.
