thank you.

Thank you, most commands get like less than a second of screen time, making them almost impossible to find by browsing the preview. This list is so helpful.

I completed cs50x with flying colors; felt so comfortable moving on; then have spent the past 3 days tearing my hair out trying to code outside of the cs50 IDE. Your videos are consistently superior in eloquence and execution and dramatically reduce barriers to entry. Thank you for caring so much about your craft and the community.

dislikes, how can anyone dislike such well explained videos, i mean, i have searched tutorials till my eyes bulged out. This is the best, thank youuuuuuuuuu.

My god I love the fact that whenever I need to learn something new, there is already a Corey Schafer video from like 2 years ago that teaches it.

I've been waiting for this video for soooooo long! Very comprehensive introduction to pipenv. Wonderful video!

[@abduldione1524]

Corey, your a great member of society. A true teacher! I respect this video because it helped me a tons. This is one of the best videos on youtube at this moment.

[@sawsebauce]

awesome content, thanks so much. as a novice self-taught python developer, this was gold!

[@distracteddispatches]

Super helpful, concise, no wasting time like so many other videos. Very professional and appreciated!

[@johnsabini3218]

This is one very good pipenv walk through. I recommended it it to students. This should be taught as early as possible to all python students. I've learned from this. I was a dev who had to put large systems (Java EE ugh) into prod and it was always a fraught experience with many disparate tools and checks. I think every language should have a universal pipenv tool.

[@grizthegriffdog9939]

I had a weird hesitation to try to learn virtual environments, learning anxiety. Your explanations are so simple and calming a goat would understand. And Im a dog so that's giving goats a lot of credit.

[@darshahlu]

Great video! Very nice explanation of the problems pipenv solves and demo of pipenv features. Regarding deployment, rather than pipenv install --ignore-pipfile, better to use pipenv install --deploy command because that one checks if your Pipfile.lock is in sync with the Pipfile; if they are out of sync, it errors.

[@coreyms]

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

[@tylerf7636]

Sir, you kick ass. Thank you. Thank you so much. I really appreciate how you mention that it was okay to not be familiar with a lot this stuff. I’m about to finish my masters in CS and am learning how much different industry is than school. Very frustrating, but you make it easier to manage. You’re a homie.

[@charlesbovalis6591]

Excellent video - it cleared out a lot of confusion and vagueness I had regarding virtual environments. Also it helped me clear out a major conceptual road-block I had, and that was: what was the logical relation between a virtual environment and a project. I was under the impression that a virtual enviroment can have multiple projects underneath .. but thanks to this presentation all is clear now .. Thank you again for providing such a great, short and clear tutorial ..

[@charlesbovalis6591]

Actually - as I am following now your OOP video series - it just "hit" me with yet another "revelation" regarding your above course .. Since you create a Virtual environment for a project-directory - that does not necessarily mean that only one program can belong in that project folder ... ( the fact that you can invoke any program within the project structure without necessarily activating the virtual environment shell gave me that revelation ... WOW ... "lights" are finally turning "on" now .. and I feel totally liberated as I truly struggled to clear our some concepts . Please correct my thought process if necessary .. But usually - if I understood your lecture - you keep things simple , meaning one program per project / virtual environment, correct ? By the way, I truly love your teaching style ( clarity of voice, short and to the point ) - I will definitely contribute to your classes maybe even the monthly setup ... I am glad I have discovered you :)

[@markbritten-jones4531]

Great video! Like many of us I suspect, I had a few python installations on my machine and was unclear which version was being used and which packages were available. Now it is all crystal clear. Thank you so much!

Wow! Another fantastic video from my favorite Python instructor on KZbin! I just can't say enough good things about Corey and the awesome videos he creates and shares with all of us!

Python Pipenv deeply explained. Thank You.

[@madusan1]

Been using pipenv for several months now... loving it. I often use - pipenv install --update packagename {ie. django}. This obvious updates to the latest. The manual editing of the Pipfile gives more control on the version but I try to keep current for bug & security fixes.. Stay ahead of the curve. Haven't had it bite me yet... I run my test my code on the dev server and on a separate testing server (seperate inhouse box with a LEMP stack

For any lost windows users out there, wondering "How the hell am Im gonna use it in windows cmd?", watch the video on how to install Windows Subsystem for Linux. Corey has a video of it in the playlist "Linux/Mac terminal tutorials", so go check that out. After having it installed, you can follow all the commands that Corey uses just fine, in windows. Of course, there are gonna be a few discrepancies, like python 3.6 being the default python instead of python 3.7, or 2 instead of 3. You can fix those small things later on. List of what's different. you gotta type python3 instead of python to specifically indicate python version 3 pip3 instead of pip, to refer to pip for python3 and not that for version 2.

It's also possible to install Python versions 3.7 and 3.8 in Ubuntu under the WSL, using the "deadsnakes" PPA. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa sudo apt install python3.7 python3.8

First of all, your teaching style is good, and anyone grabs ur teachings easily, and thanks for teaching us. you are the best tutor I have ever come up with in python language. can u suggest any python language book, which is best to go through other than your channel? Moreover, I am a beginner to python language I thoroughly enjoyed ur videos, if u can suggest me best python book to ur sensibility and I guess it suits me and it helps me to learn further (I like physical like books). In case if u written any books related to this language can u suggest one (or) your favorite book, please......................................

Installed on a couple of accounts projects for python 3.7.4, 3.8.2 and 2.7.18 on the latest Fedora. The trick was being in the right project directory, so each one has it's own Pipfile. The pipenv commands seem limited. But I can now run three Python versions concurrently.

[@deemon710]

@28:19 When you install dependencies from the lock file with `pipenv install --ignore-pipfile` does it create a new pip file based on the lock file? If not, how do you create the pip file?

[@victorvillacis6764]

If no pipfile it will create a new empty one. However it will not create a new one with all dependencies. I think you will have to create it manually. You will have to do pipenv requirements and copy and paste the output.

[@eatbreathedatascience9593]

[@alexbordei3951]

Love your videos Corey, thanks for sharing. I wonder if there's a way to mark where certain sub topics are in your video. I know you recently asked in your community page if people preferred short or long videos. Having the marks in this video would help people navigate, for example if they were interested in pipenv but specifically how to implement dev features. Just a thought, but thank you!!!

Hi Corey, It would be great if you could do a summary video on virtualenv, pyenv, pyenv-virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, pyenv-virtualenvwrapper, pipenv. It will be a very useful resource.

[@aqts]

very helpful :D

[@FobazF]

pipenv is indeed easy to use but I would recommend sticking with good ol' virtual env mainly because pipenv almost breaks every time with a pip update. Conda is also another great alternative which is language agnostic and allows you to install any non-Python package to the environment.

Hello @Corey Schafer and All, Can anyone help me with this concept at 21:22. I am using 3.12.1 python version and want to change Python version in pipfile to 3.11 and trying to make my virtual environment use the specified version using pipenv --python 3.11. I am using command prompt in my windows machine to run all these commands. After running this pipenv --python 3.11 command, terminal has no response or log information. The cursor/prompt is just waiting for another command. I checked current version of python in virtual environment, it's still 3.12.1. Nothing has changed. Thanks in advance

What font need's to be installed to see the snake in terminal output? :)

[@jasonmiller2494]

Why do you manually edit the version of python (20:58 and 22:41) if you later run the command in terminal anyway? Is it required? Couldn't you just run command without manually specifying the python version in pipfile? As I understand the new pipfile (with updated python ver) will be created. Its like npm for JS.

[@coreyms]

In my experience, it wasn't updating the Pipfile with the new version of Python. There may be some design reasons for this. I'm not sure. But unlike installing new packages, if you wanted to completely change the interpreter then you need to change it manually in the Pipfile. Good question though.
