Setting PYTHONHOME required on Windows within virtualenv

[cpterry]

It builds successfully but fails at runtime with "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec" when built and run within a conda virtualenv. Setting PYTHONHOME to the executable folder before building and running solved the problem. I only encountered this when using a virtual environment and Windows 10.

This may be related to #213.

I am trying to use cpython with a conda env as well, and I'm running into the same problem where I can't seem to find anything that lets you specify environment. If I understand you correctly, you solved it by setting PYTHONHOME in your path variables?

[cpterry]

It solved it with:

set PYTHONHOME=<absolute path of the current env's lib folder>

before running cargo build.

Perfect. Thanks! That solved it. I had resorted to running a bash script using Commands because I couldn't figure it out.
