for people whose "python -V" is showing old version after pyenv shell NEW_PYTHON_VERSION, head over to search bar and type "Manage app execution aliases" and untoggle all the python related thing, check if the command works now in a new terminal, if not then you have to uninstall all the previous instances of python installed from control panel while having already done the first step above. It should solve the issue. Enjoy folks!! Nice video dude
This was completely necessary for someone like me running full time linux and having to work sometimes on windows with no idea how to even "cd" or "ls -l" on windows. Thank god the powershell has those commands.
Thank you tremendously for this video--you beautifully outlined or "colored-in" what was missing from the GitHub docs to run versions and even virtual environment with VS Code. Brilliant. Thank you. 🙂
Thank you so much K0nze!! This tutorial is the best about pyenv in youtube!!! You saved my life a lot of times. The first time I watched it was in 2022 and today you helped me again !! God bless you so much !!!
Hey there! massive thanks for this tutorial! Seriously, it's hands down one of the best I've come across. Your explanations were super clear, and those ready-made commands? Genius move! Saved me a ton of time and hassle, so cheers for that. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of your tutorials
Thank you! I got a problem though, I followed the instructions but when I entered "python -V" it just returned the current python version on my system which is 3.10.1, while I installed and activated the 3.8.2 in pyenv; Can u help me out with this issue?
Super hilfreiches Video! Der Teil mit settings.json ist wohl nicht mehr nötig, das macht VSCode mitlerweile automatisch. Allerdings zeigt es im Terminal nicht an, dass man in einer (.venv)ist. Super praktisch und als Anfänger konnte ich jetzt einen simplen pyemv-installer machen, der mir automatisch ein passendes Environment zu meinem Projekt aufsetzt 😊
I had the problem that I installed the 3.10.8 version in pyenv, but python -V showed me the 3.11.1 version which I had installed directly in my pc. Solved the problem by uninstalling 3.11.1 and installing it in pyenv. Hope it helps someone who has had the same problem
Thank you for this great tutorial! Very clear and usefull! :) I am currently working in my master disertation in engineering and I need a way to switch between python versions in a easy way!
The term 'pyenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. 4:10
i watched your Apple version of this tutorial and it worked great. now im trying this version (windows) and when I do the global command and then check the version its still stuck on python 3.12.4 and wont listen to my global command to make it 3.10.11
I was with you until 'pyenv shell #' didn't actually change the output of "python -V". '"python local" made the version file but the -V isn't changing.
Amazing instruction video. Is it possible that you could list out the steps that are 1 time and which steps are to be repeated each time a new virtual environment is needed?
I get this error> pyenv : The term 'pyenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. And I did exactly what he said in the video. I have windows 11.
Great video, this has helped me alot. This is something I have struggled with for a while. The only question I have is around installing python packages/modules in the virtual environment such as numpy, scikit, matplotlib etc. Would this be as simple as using pip while in the virtual environment? Are these installed packages persistent when the environment is deactivated and activated again? If not is there a way to have these as a present to be installed every time the venv is activated?
Each Python version installed through pyenv has its own set of pip packages. This is due to fact, that there might be version conflicts when switching Python versions but keep the packages. Regardless of this I would recommend to create a virtual environment for every new Python project and refrain from install pip packages systemwide.
@@k0nze_builds After many hours of searching online and trying everything I could find, I was unable to get pyenv working on my system. Either I had a 'base' install of python in which case pyenv was not able to change local or shell versions. Or, I had no base installation of python but py.exe would not work and I could only open files using python command in CLI. Actually, pyenv can 'change versions' for a local or shell instance but it doesn't actually execute (like running sys.version_info) I might have to try conda because I just cannot get this to work.
You should not use py.exe to run python code. Always use python.exe because py.exe is a windows thing and can lead to weird behavior (as you have seen yourself).
This is a good video and Thanks a lot for sharing this tutorial. But I have a question After we set python 3.10 to the local folder "Python Test" and how to delete that python 3.10 on local?
Thank you for the video. How do see the list of the different virtual environments installed in the system. Can something like pyenv plugin like pyenv- virtualenv or similar be used.
Thanks, i want to try this because my python 3.10.6 wont download tts from python as a requirement and believe i need 3.9 or lower. I was hoping i could just install a second copy as creating the pyenv and stuff im not sure how thatmworks with oogabooga so i dont lose stabls diffusion python
ok so what do I do if I get to pyenv shell, and when i do python -v i get a huge amount of text back - presumably because i have system python on windows that is 3.10 ... i'm trying to do all this so i can run a thing that needs python 3.8
Is running the command-prompt as admin the same as using powershell? What happens if you already have multiple python versions already installed, before you've installed pyenv? I sometimes have to run a windows setup exe or a whl to install a specific python package.. (for example PyQt 5.4 can't be installed via pip), how would this work with pyenv/virtualenv? I'm actually only interested in building EXEs from 2 python versions.. Python 3.4.4 (32-bit for WinXP) and Python 3.11.1 (64-bit). Would it be easier in my case to just change the PATH whenever I want to switch between? What would pyenv/venv add?
Thanks for the nice video. One question though: VS code does not recognize the .venv automatically for me, also not after creating settings.json and/or launch.json. I have to select it manually. Are there prerequisites for VS Code to select the .venv automatically?
Thank you William! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The default Python version of you system is usually determined by the order of paths in the PATH variable. When you run "python" on the command line the operating system will check the PATH variable if it can find a match. The first match it finds is the default version.
@@k0nze_builds I guess the problem I'm having is that I have 3.7.0 installed on my system, but the pyenv 3.7.0 doesn't recognize my installed libraries i.e. pandas. When I run pip install pandas again it says requirement satisfied (by my system's python)
not working when you have already installed python 3.10 and you want to use 3.8.0 i tried to use global but still 3.10 default get what i did pyenv install 3.8.0 pyenv versions pyenv shell 3.8.0 pyenv global 3.8.0 then i open another shell still get 3.10 version which my python default version
I installed 3.10.6 with the "penv install 3.10.6" but every time i try to swap to it or set it as global it shows me that i am on 3.9.12 afterwards. Is there a way to tell what I did wrong? I want to use python 3.10.6 for Stable diffusion while using a newer version of python for the rest of my system. Is this even the correct way to achieve that? I am here because I tried to install 2 python versions on WIn 10 and while installing python 3.10.6 it just told me that there is already a python verison on my pc so i cant install another. :(
For some reason I have Python 3.10.6 installed and after I follow all the instructions and install pyenv, when I run the command "pyenv shell 3.9.6" it takes the command, but then I run "python -V" and still states the 3.10.6. Any suggestions as to why? Outside of that great specific and detailed tutorial. I'm an IT, but mainly I do hardware and software troubleshooting and I’m not too familiar with pyenv or Python, but you definitely explained it in a way I could understand, thanks!
