I got the solution for my question. Prefixing with python -m in Windows solved my issue.

Thanks for updating with your solution – glad you got it working! 😊 And sorry about the late reply – it wasn't immediately clear from your question what the problem was, so I thought you were looking for more general instructions.

I created a custom activation script that I run. Just pop this code in a ps1 file and run it (assumes virtual environment root directory).

```
Function global:pdgy { python -m prodigy $args}
Function global:prodigy { python -m prodigy $args}
Function global:spacy { python -m spacy $args}

./Scripts/activate.ps1
```

It’s worth noting that the cmdlet definitions could as easily be added to your powershell profile, if you don’t want to work out of a virtual environment.

Hello @ines Please disregard my recommendation. It turns out that doskey doesn't work as expected.
