Normally to create a virtual environment, we can do so from the command prompt with::

    C:\Users\me>python -m venv venv

This doesn't work when we are within a virtual environment though::

    (venv) C:Users\me>python -m venv venv2
    Error: Command '['C:\\Users\\me\\venv2\\Scripts\\python.exe', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 3221226505.

# i read an excel file from gmail, and the response was returned as bytes like:
# b'this is my excel file as a byte string'

# i wanted to use pandas to get this into a dataframe using pd.get_excel(filename).
# typically I would input the path to the excel file, which would require me to
# save the excel file first using: 

with open("my_file.xlsx", "wb") as f: 
    f.write()
