 On Windows, you may have to invoke the ``pyvenv`` script as follows, if you
 don't have the relevant PATH and PATHEXT settings::
 
- c:\Temp>c:\Python33\python c:\Python33\Tools\Scripts\pyvenv.py myenv
+ c:\Temp>c:\Python35\python c:\Python35\Tools\Scripts\pyvenv.py myenv
 
 or equivalently::
 
- c:\Temp>c:\Python33\python -m venv myenv
+ c:\Temp>c:\Python35\python -m venv myenv
 
 The command, if run with ``-h``, will show the available options::
 
- usage: pyvenv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks] [--clear]
- [--upgrade] [--without-pip] ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
+ usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks] [--clear]
