For those that didn't get the venv after restarting the terminal and had an error regarding to Execution Policies, just run in the terminal the following script: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser and then: .\.venv\Scripts\activate (for Windows)

It has taken me hours to import modules in python but after following this, I can firmly say that I have landed. Btw am a self taught programmer/coder and this was really helpful.😊

[@NewParadigmAI-zm9lj]

This is the best damned instructional ever. Honestly, so many 20 minute videos, and this dude knocks it out of the park.

[@zeebeat123]

Couldn't agree more. I have watched SO many videos and they are much longer, and many leave out small but essential details

[@joaquinurruti2628]

Absolutely! He's so clear on every subject!

[@ליאורשביט-ד5כ]

As someone who is just starting out and really needs the things that are understood by everyone, I appreciate this video. Thanks.

[@boitedamour]

after 4 hours of search, your tutorial saved my life . thanks

[@azekhuoriadignity2360]

for those that did not get the (env name) in terminal path, which is supposed to be displayed in the panel after activation, its normal on Vs code right now. You can hover over the powershell or cmd button on the top of the panel to see the extensions that have contributed to the terminal environment. There you will see your virtual env running.

[@saintsscholars8231]

I was literally tearing my hair out trying to modify PATH variables and going around in circles. Very clear explanations. Thank you!

[@lofgren007]

Best and simplest explanation I have come across for venv - thank you kindly.

[@abubakr9796]

Love your videos bro! Easy and simple to understand tutorials and explanations.

[@abdullahattia2491]

[@amigobrewbrew9297]

As a beginner I was lost but now it all makes sense. Thanks!

[@user-jk1gb7wm6z]

for windows .... python -m venv myenv Then activate it by following command... myenv\Scripts\activate here .... myenv is name of my environment .... u can give any name ..... Just 2 lines of Commands..

[@sgomez8194]

thank you! .venv\Scripts\activate did it for me! now i can see the (.venv) in the terminal

[@kenbajema]

Now the dozens of videos I've watched regarding installing Autogen and memgpt etc make sense!! thank you. I've been using conda environments and have had a difficult time finding the and editing the correct .py files! for packages and running them.

[@JackPlaysMinecraft575]

Thank you for this Helpful Video i was Struggling with using VScode Now i Know how to get python onto it

wow I wasted so many hours trying to figure out what the hell was going on before finally finding this video and solving it in seconds, thanks man I appreciate it!

[@ispeakpython]

Thank you sir, I've found answer of my question here after 3 weeks.

[@lavendercode]

Thank you so much Indently! This is the easiest way to make a virtual environment. Please continue to make videos; they are valuable!

[@bensonkamau1844]

actually when creating a new python file, if you create a requirements.txt under it and add modules to be used, vscode displays a button on the bottom left side asking you whether you want to create a new environment

[@cosmic_9]

Thank you for explaining it as well! I'm trying to comperhend every basic principle vs code and python has to offer and hit a wall here.

[@LaminarRainbow]

[@brii3506]

Thank you soso much really!!

[@Gamesoldier68]

Thank you very much for the very informative video. So i assume if you wanted to set up several virtual environments for different projects, you would just name them differently in the .venv command. Thanks again

[@sharifsharifani]

Although I completely followed this video, the error resists:ImportError: No module named statistics what should I do?

[@srivatsavm3892]

i know this is a late reply cuz i just saw it but, after creating virtual environment you have to install your packages again using pip install

[@Virtual4087]

​@@srivatsavm3892 Do we need to install all the packages that are already installed in our system again when we activate a virtual environment?

[@riluwan369]

bruhh ig its inbuilt

[@haiclop_music]

[@charlessnachez4248]

Why the « pip install discord » int he folder didnt work but it worked in the venv environment ? Is it because of some conflict with other global python packages?

[@chycheaninh5346]

Thank you brother

[@anything9276]

That was very helpful thanks

[@prabhdeepsingh8726]

At 0:45 you should say that you installed Python extension for VSCode, not the interpreter. Without that extension, VSCode will not give you an option to choose between virtual environments.

[@julianpicon243]

Great

[@thetafritz9868]

what do I do if I failed a couple times, tried again by deleting the .venv files and now no longer get the notification or the option to use the venv folder??

[@pokpok9445]

I'm a bit late but you can click on the interpreter data on the bottom-right of the window that should be called like the version of python that is installed on your computer. Then you can click at the top on "browse..." then you go in the .venv folder then scripts and python.exe

great video as always, btw I wanna ask why in my python, I cant import tkinter? it says " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter' "

if I made a file organizer code in python, but I'm scared to try it out on my actual computer, can I run it here??

[@media7588]

Thanks you

[@Dasol0246]

What happens when I run the .py program on another machine, do I need the pip package I installed in the virtual environment or once written I won’t need the pip package?
