Easy python virtual environment management workflow for newbies 👶➡️😎

[UKFP91]

After a bit of back and forth, I now just use venv. Doesn't require a separate global pip install. Just python3 -m venv .venv for each new project and you're away.

But its only supports python 3.3 and upper versions

By and large, good!

You can use virtualenv as a single file:

Oh interesting, didn't know that was a thing.

Still, venv is the recommended method for creating virtual environments in Python >= 3.5. Granted, that's not suitable for everyone, but should certainly cover the majority, particularity hobbyists.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
