    This turned my learning on virtual environments from “copying” to “understanding.” It’s such a gratifying feeling. Thank you. I lost sight of what I was doing in creating virtual environments and felt lost for a few days. This was so concise and clear. Again, thank you. Subbed.

    This 15 minutes are extremely useful for absolute beginners to virtual environments. You can go ahead and watch it carefully.
    I thank you sir,Jose for speaking clearly each step you do .

    As a second year CS student this was great. Everything made sense. After watching this I tried conda, hated it, switched to venv. Now I'm a happy Data Science learner thanks to you.

    Excellect video that helped a lot. I'd just like to add; to create a requirements.txt file easily, run: pip3 freeze > requirements.txt.
    That will put all of the modules and versions in a file for you to edit or use to import into another virtual environment.

    Yesss! We need this kind of information. There are thousands of guys who talk about a programming language, but very few who talk about the information that enables a project to move forward, to deliver. Thanks Jose. How about a video about conda and another one to compare both?

    Thank You! This is one of those topics I feel no-one really explains. So you end up banging your head against a wall while following a tutorial steps exactly and getting error messages. So it's good you manged to explain how it works and why I should use virtual environments succinctly.

  • @Sylfa
    @Sylfa Год назад +2

    A tip for figuring out which version the command prompt is finding is to run the command: where python
    It'll return each python.exe it finds in the path in the order it would execute them, so the first line returned is the one that will run when you execute python. And now you know which folder will be the first valid python folder in your path.

    Great video, thank you for the explanation.
    The video after all could be shortened to 2 steps (let it be a cheatsheet for me and others):
    1) run C:\python\Python_3.6.4\python.exe -m venv .env
    2) run 'activate.bat', for example, C:\Projects\Learning\Python\python_automation_mentoring\sandbox\pytest_example\.env\Scripts\activate.bat

  • @briancarroll9433
    @briancarroll9433 2 года назад +1

    Great intro to virtual environments. To activate the virtual environment when using PowerShell, I had to run the command: venvName\Scripts\Activate.ps1 instead of venvName\Scripts\activate.bat

    • @JoelRivera3
      @JoelRivera3 2 года назад

      Brian good catch. Also, if it doesnt work you will need to set the execution policy to either Bypass or AllSigned. Bypass all scripts are allowed, Allsigned only trusted so when you run third party scripts you will have to trust them first. I ran in powershell 'Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope CurrentUser' you can always reverse it to how it was whether it was restricted or undefined after completing your virtual environment project.

  • @JITCompilation
    @JITCompilation 2 года назад +36

    So when you "boot up a virtual environment", you're simply changing the system's environment variables, such as the PATH, so they point to folders in your virtual environment folder?

    • @sahilsagwekar
      @sahilsagwekar 2 года назад +10

      Thats the first part of the virtual environment. You also create a copy of the interpreter with the packages specific to the new venv

    If you're taking requests, a tutorial to clean up global/local scopes for people that have installed way too many versions and their computer is totally out of wack.
    Moving forward Im going to take the extra 5 minutes and do everything local, thanks to you I now know why it's so important
    Edit: One issue when I run it it keeps using another interpreter and no matter how many times I changed it in vscode the same issue. I used sys.executable to confirm it's the wrong env

    • @tecladocode
      @tecladocode  Год назад

      💥 thank you! I will continue making videos, I hope you enjoy them! And thanks for the suggestion, a guide on cleaning things up would be nice actually. I'll get to work!
      VSCode always chooses a default environment for me too. Then I create a virtual environment using the console and _sometimes_ it will be like "do you want to select this one?". Other times it won't, and you just have to remember to do so manually. CTRL+SHIFT+P -> Select Interpreter is the easiest way to do it (CMD+SHIFT+P on Mac).

  • @bennguyen1313
    @bennguyen1313 Год назад

    So to use different virtual environments, one could either install
    Python (multiple versions),
    A package manager (pip3),
    (And if running old python: pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv, pyenv-virtualenvwrapper)
    Then create/use virtual environments (via the built-in venv ).
    The alternative is to install Ana/Miniconda. btw, conda seems like a better approach than using pip for virtual environments.
    What a third way be to install nothing locally and instead point a browser to iPythonNotebook->Jupyter Notebook / JupyterLab?
    I need to sometimes build exes from 2 python versions.. Python 3.4.4 (32-bit for WinXP) and Python 3.11.1 (64-bit).. And that requires I 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). Would installing packages this way be recognized by virtual environments (venv or anaconda), or be supported in JupyterLab?
