Using multiple Python version on Windows

Using multiple Python version on Windows
As a developer, I find that I need to switch between different Python versions when I'm working on projects.
I have my own way of doing this!
In this video, I will show you an easy way to toggle between different versions of Python on your Windows machine.

A couple of weeks ago I was sorting python versions at my machine. VSCode hasn't seen a certain version. It took me an hour to fix it. If I only saw your video. 👍👍👍

[@DidCoding]

I feel your pain 😀 This is the exact reason why I put the video together.

[@manasuniyal2897]

It's actually the cleanest and clearest video on you tube on this topic. THANK YOU

[@DidCoding]

Thank you

[@nikola7771]

I giggled ☺ Very interesting way to add multiple versions of Python and control their usage. Thank you for your time and for the video.

[@DidCoding]

😃😃

[@shazam1334]

its rare to see some solutions actually work in utube... good vid

[@DidCoding]

Thank you

[@ananthakrishnank3208]

Thanks! If someone still gets "python not recognized as an internal ...", just try to move those two paths all the way to the top in your "SYSTEM" path. That worked for me.

[@DidCoding]

Good advise

[@LisandroDC]

I would like to have something much cleaner like "node package manager". But I have to say that your approach is really concise and works perfectly

[@DidCoding]

I tend to dockerise projects now and install the correct packages.

[@user-zl3qu8yh4z]

wow., the best tutorial ever

[@DidCoding]

Thank you

[@Gareth.W]

Cheers - succinct and useful. Have seen some horribly complicated videos so I'm glad I stumbled on this one.

[@DidCoding]

Glad you found it useful 🙌

[@Gigudrion]

Thanks. Much easier than other guides.

[@DidCoding]

Thank you. I’m glad you like it

It’s simple but effective 👍 Thanks for the feedback.

What exactly did you do at 3:06? Screens start magically appearing. You clicked on something in the lower part of the screen. What was it! I'm loving the video so far. Just can't figure out how you went from the Console to those navigation panes. Thank you.

[@DidCoding]

Hi there. That’s windows search panel 👍

[@joelprestonsmith]

Thank you, @DidCoding

[@lumpymilktea]

yeah this works, thanks for the guide

very clear , thanks

[@levvillanueva9047]

It should also be mentioned that if you're on you venv and you want to use a package that is already installed on the host, that package will use the kernel for the *first* python version you installed regardless of the PATH configuration. To avoid this, install those packages again on your venv. (Tested while using jupyterlab/jupyter-lab). I ran into this issue because I thought 'I will need jupyter for everything', I might as well install it on the host and not time and time again on the venv's. Turns out, you need to for maximum compatibility with the version of python you want to use.

[@DidCoding]

Thanks for the comment. When I recorded this it was an easy fix to a problem I faced when swapping between projects. I tend to use docker these days to containerise…

[@abhinayasheva2860]

sorry i didnt understand, so i have to install numpy pandas etc in all version of my python?

[@levvillanueva9047]

​@@abhinayasheva2860 Specifically for jupyter-lab, if you just use the host version and it's not compatible with what your other package needs, you should install jupyterlab again on that VENV Scenario -HOST COMPUTER, FIRST PYTHON INSTALLED IS 3.10 -HOST COMPUTER HAS JupyterLab installed (version not imporant here) At this point, whenever you create a VENV, jupyter lab will be available for you to use and it will use the 3.10 kernel regardless if your PATH configuration (in windows) -We install Python 3.8 -We change the PATH configuration so that python 3.8 is on top -We create a new VENV (python --version -> 3.8) -JupyterLab is available, however, it will use the Python 3.10 kernel regardless of your PATH config -Run pip install jupyterlab for this VENV -JupyterLab will now use python 3.8 (the correct kernel for this VENV)

[@user-vb7im1jb1b]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial!

[@DidCoding]

No problem. Glad you found it useful.

[@user-vb7im1jb1b]

@@DidCoding By the way, do you have a similar video for Linux? Thanks again!

[@user-tr3ml5cd9r]

Not bad but great. I may use this craft method if nothing better appears

[@DidCoding]

🙌

[@user-tr3ml5cd9r]

YES. It has worked!! Your solution solved my obstacles regarding "ECG-image-kit" project (hearth & health stuff by Alphanumerics Lab). That code requires Python 3.8.18 and I have switched from my usual 3.12.1 down to 3.8.10 (current release available).

[@JouLopes]

When you edit the version of Python, you edit it in all your computer or just in the current folder?

[@DidCoding]

Sorry for the delay. It changes it across your machine.

[@levvillanueva9047]

For 'smart' people, these python developers sure know as much as Jon Snow

[@DidCoding]

😂

[@sk45293]

This is great

[@DidCoding]

Thank you 🙏

[@sushantsawant6468]

hello i have two python version 3.10 and 3.7.8, I want PY 3.7.8 on priority when I type PY on CMD for Machine learning.

[@DidCoding]

To do that you may need to install 3.7.8 followed by your secondary versions. Alternatively, you can use pyenv or fire up a basic docker container with the version you need 🙌

[@robo4827]

Hey manh i tried this its not working when i install a new version of Python does the environment variables get added directly in ur environment variables path Cuz when i download i need to manually add the path in env variables and when i move it up yet no change it is showing me the 3.11 version only whereas i want to run 3.7 version what should i do can someone pls help out?

[@DidCoding]

Morning, Dockerizing your project is an easy way to use multiple Python versions 👍

[@narpwa]

Is there a way to run a python script in for example 3.7.3 and at the same time run another script in 3.8.2 on the same computer ?

[@DidCoding]

One option is to use Docker and run a python image. This will give you a local python version and a different one in Docker 👍

[@lohithasai8161]

There are no python files in the path but i have installed both 3.7 and 3. 11 version. What shld i do

[@DidCoding]

You can add them manually 👍

[@hairulls]

thanks bro,

Have you tried using docker with a python2 image?

[@skaruts]

I wonder if you can write a python script to switch the path order automatically... lol :)

DO NOT DO WHAT THIS GUY SAYS. This is idiotic.
