Why should you use Python virtual environments

A virtual environment (venv) is a tool that helps you isolate Python projects from each other. This is useful because it prevents different projects from interfering with each other's dependencies.

Virtualenv is a tool to set up your Python environments. Since Python 3.3, a subset of it has been integrated into the standard library under the venv module. You can install venv to your host Python by running this command in your terminal:

create your own .env file in the root of your project folder - see Example

  pip install virtualenv

Basic setup

1. Create a new python virtual environment

• Linux/Windows:

    python3 -m venv {your_env_name}

2. Activate environment

• Linux:

source {your_env_name}/bin/activate
({your_env_name}) $

• Windows:

PS> {your_env_name}\Scripts\activate
({your_env_name}) PS>

3. Installing required packages from requirements.txt

• Linux / Windows:

({your_env_name}) $ pip install -r path/to/requirements.txt

Other useful commands

Installing individual packages into env

• Linux / Windows:

({your_env_name}) $ python -m pip install <package-name>

Exporting list of all install packages

  pip freeze > requirements.txt
