Virtual Environments in Python - Crash Course

[@princemarkied8071]

this was exactly what i needed. It made it so simple for some reason lol. Virtual Environments are a MUST for python and now I can navigate them with no confusion

[@timrudenauer6449]

Very good explanation. All basics were straight an to the point. The virtual environment was weird for me as a fulltime javascript dev. Now I understand that its not really that different except of the changed environment variables and paths. :)

[@aslynnmoore8601]

Great video. Good explanation of why needed and how to create a requirements.txt file to identify the modules to load into the environment. The only thing missing is saying what to do with the requirements.txt file after you make it. While you could just read through it and manually pip install each of the modules in the file, you can also just install all of them in one command using pip install -r requirements.txt. That is really what I came here to find and you have everything except that. Thought I would add it here so the whole process is complete.

This was sooooooooooo nice and detailed, thank you man, you saved me from several late night headaches 😅

[@pcimring]

Great intro - thanks! I played around on a Mac, and as far as I can tell, the following commands are used: To create a virtual environment: python3 -m venv OR (as per this video): virtualenv Then... to activate: source /bin/activate And to deactivate: deactivate -- That's what worked for me. Am I missing anything? :)

[@chrisdepallanofficial460]

its the same for linux/unix systems. i was searching for scripts in my system. then i just went " hahaha"

[@jamesw8458]

This is crystal clear. Thanks!

[@jjar7266]

Thank You so much! I was having a bit of trouble with chapter 18 in Python Crash Course 3rd editiion on creating a virtual environment.. you made it very simple to understand!!

[@oguzhantopaloglu9442]

whats the difference between this and "python -m venv venv" stuff?

[@juliankleinhans]

@@Serpent-DCLXV thx, and what should you recommend to use and why? Until now i am using python -m venv .venv, but after watching your awesome Video i am not sure if i should stay with that or if i should switch

[@juliankleinhans]

@@Serpent-DCLXV awesome answer, thanks a lot

[@albertoricardomorales6328]

Thanks! This is just what I needed

[@govinej]

Can you do a course about testing your code/classes/methods?

[@nu940]

concise, yet very helpful tutorial

[@AMoktar]

Awsome, Pretty straight forward. Thanks bro.

[@Yash-Gaikwad]

Best tutorial for virtual environment. subscribed :)

[@samsung40_media87]

clear on Windows - cls - or maybe CTRL+L works too?

[@G3CK0S]

This was super helpful, thank you!

[@felipefarah9720]

Crazy good explanation! Great stuff

[@michaelomosebi6374]

Exactly what I needed! 👍

[@MarcelMaier-zz4xo]

i was kinda shocked, that this even is a problem in python. as a beginner i just asumed that i works like node :D

[@lundebc]

So, I think I am missing something key. On my raspberry pi, runing bookworm, If I create the venv, install a library, then go to my visual studio environment, how do I make sure that the python "sees" the library in the venv ?

[@songxujin5581]

讲的醍醐灌顶！大兄弟谢谢你

[@ZsoltPal23092011]

excellent thanks! clear easy to understand explanation, helped a lot!

[@programadordelassombras]

New to python applications here. From my understanding, virtualenv is a third party package. venv (formally pyenv) comes installed with python3. With this said, is it still, then, necessary to use virtualenv? I'm mad confused... then there's pipenv... **confusion overload**

[@Grogueman]

If you need to use different versions of pyhton for various projects, virtualenv is the way to go. venv only creates environments with its home release of Python.

[@A.Tantawy]

Thanks a lot man, You're doing an amazing job!!!

[@Good-and-Geeky]

Super explanation. Very useful !

[@Bern-One]

Great lesson.

[@tejashwini54321]

Thank you so much sir for such a clear explanation....✨😊✨✨✨✨

[@plopi3109]

I use venv because i don't have root permissions and I struggle use venv with IntelliJ IDEA, the packages i download with pip in the venv are not showing on my IDE, but your video helped me understanding those concept, i'm not at all into progamming

[@bassycounter]

Hmm I’ve had similar problems with packages not showing, maybe i’ll try virtualenv

[@sentient1640]

I didn't add python to path. So, when I deactivate and run pip list command, i still see the packages installed in virtual environment but not outside the folder.

[@hakonmoen3438]

great, another super technical "introduction". How about a high level illustration of what the topic is about, and keep it dumbed down for a set amount of time before introducing abbreviations after abbreviations

[@ThePelcher]

Great video!

[@elysonpanolino5413]

after creating and activating virtual environment, how to proceed in actual coding that uses this venv

[@RonSheely]

Thank you.

[@vangelis_]

useful video, well explained :)

[@krzysiekkrzysiek9059]

@NeuralNine is the Virtualenv better than the Venv?

[@Nabilh17]

very clear, thank you

[@zigaudrey]

I am so used to see that "PIL/Pillow doesn't need a Virtual Environment" that I need one to make it work. All I end up to says is "God. Fucking. Dammit". Thank for the video.

[@horstmueller1000]

is virtualenv recommended or deprecated? (min 5:00)

[@programadordelassombras]

Does anyone have any resources on how to move an existing Django project into a venv? I started a Django project without first creating a venv.

[@carlosduclaud9562]

you just left the linux explanation halfway... thank you

[@junjuljunjul4392]

Thank you good sir!

[@YuTv1408]

Cool and more useful than reading RedHat...lolz

[@DennisMissel-sw1uh]

Awesome content .. thank you

[@erfanfekri7156]

Thanks a lot !

[@infocus5410]

for some reason, I can't deactivate virtualenv, command .\Scripts\deactivate. bat doesn't do anything...?

[@Fidolorous]

just type deactivate if you're using powershell

[@MK3DScapes]

The "ls" command will not work in CMD for me. Does anyone know why?

[@NeuralNine]

It's a Linux command. On cmd you need to use "dir". I added a custom alias in Windows.

[@tamirnitzan7836]

Why keep on showing old technology. Can do all with pipenv match more simple.

[@sadeqmousawi140]

Thanks a lot

[@Tony-dp1rl]

Using Docker as I do now, is a lot more simple than this, and you have the bonus of being ready to deploy just about anywhere. Not seeing any advantage here.

[@brianwaweru7754]

thanks

[@loganki5zyw]

I was wondering why the fuck do i want to go to this trouble but ig it makes sense

[@bassycounter]

😂me too, i spent so much time thinking this stuff was way too unnecessary, but now that I’m working on projects that require external packages, I guess I ought to learn up on this and get comfortable with it

[@jms9993]

ugh windows and the cli makes me so sad :(

[@NeuralNine]

I have a newer video recorded on Linux.

[@laalbujhakkar]

Do you know why people skip the videos back and forth? because we're dealing with a hundred plus videos for our search query and every single one claims to epxlain python virtual envs. For eache *#$()*#$ video, we have to sit through 2 unskippagle godda***d ads for 20 seconds. You see where this is going?
