I second this post! I know other languages, but I’ve been struggling to learn python and every video i watch if yours is 1000x better than anyone else I’ve seen. You give step-by-step directions, but you also take the time to explain WHY and also what pitfalls to be aware of. Thank you for making the effort in these videos. It is appreciated!

Wow, I wish I had seen this video six months ago. It would have saved me so many hours and headaches aches learning this stuff through trial and error. A great refresher now.

I picked up python back after abandoning it for a year and was following your latest tutorials, this is exactly what I've been thinking about, thanks man!!

I agree, you are indeed the best instructor I've seen! Fantastic, you are calm, thorough and clear you don't rush through the topics. by far the best and most "giving" videos I've seen. I walk away understanding stuff I did not understand before, but had tried to use without fully understanding. thumbs up! just wish I had seen this before I polluted and messed up my setup🙂

Thanks for such a great video. Never found such straightforward and easy to follow videos for beginners until i found your channel. Keep up the great work!

Very well done, great explanation, well structured, detailed enough, overall easy to understand, thanks!

I studied I.T yeeaars ago but had to drop out 1 year in cause I just didn't have the money for it. As time went on I sorta forgot the love I have for tech since I was trying to you know, make a living. Your videos honestly resparked my love for the field and you're just amazing. Best teacher I've ever had❤️👍🏾

Thank you for reading and responding to our questions and comments. you have a remarkably good teaching style.

You man are a genius, i've not programmed in years but you have inspired me to learn and i am improving!!! I would love a tutorial on servers and hosting your own as i would like to make one for my business to host a database and query data (maybe even link to some shopify api's)

hey brother just getting into coding and your is one of the more really understandable easy to follow vary well explained and in depth for someone like myself that needs to know what to do but are importantly why so i can retain the memory better and be able to execute it on a different project again next time, that you!!!!!

Thank you for this video very much needed! One little tip I run into: I was not able to change local nor global python. The only thing I needed to understand was that on my terminal, (for some reasons unknown to me) I have a regular python program by default, and another one as python3. All your commands work perfectly using python3 instead of python.

It is a perfect tutorial both for beginners and more experimented users. You tackle all the angles and always have a thought for special cases. Well done 👏

As ronan4681 mentioned , organization and structure is a skill that even veteran programmers feel benefited from, and one that novice programmers dream of learning right from the start. I am always looking for AI teaching bloggers who have the logic and structure that can make the path to learning the latest AI technologies with fewer detours right from the start, and you are one such treasure of a teacher.

Hi, thanks for this video. One thing I'm missing is the use of "requirements.txt" in this introduction. Especially when using tensorflow I realized that it is very important to stick to specific versions and also a python version. So after installing all libs with "pip install"... I recommend to add a "pip freeze > requirements.txt" This way you can reproduce the results all the time. And of courde after cloning a git repo you need a "pip install -r requirements.txt" in order to have the same libs as in the examples

You are great!!

Hello. At minute 32 with 45, did you forget to activate the 'env' environment again? Although you activate it later, it seems that, at minute 38 with 35, the virtual environment is deactivated again. Great job. Blessings.

Thanks for the video, very helpful. I use Mac Ventura and installed Python version 3.9 & 3.11. But when I try pyenv versions I get only 3.9 and does not show up 3.11. Other problem I encounter is Pip install does not work and get zsh: command not found: pip. I tried various option but still no luck. Do you have any suggestion to fix my pip install issue? Thanks

My homebrew installs as Python3. So when I use the pyenv to change the version, it shows the right version of python when I use the command "pyenv versions" but when I use python3 --version its showing the systems version of python?

how to make a chatbot using langchain for multiple pdf file to generate mcq question with similar ansewers.

At 38:30, you pressed the RUN button. Was it call the python which installed by Visual code or it ran the python using "pyenv local"? Thanks!

Do you have a video for making a chatbot with a local model. No openai api or huggingfaceapi. Completely local?

When teaching computer stuff it helps a ton to actually demonstrate. Just because you already have it installed on your computer doesn't help us. We need to see what to click. The truth is I couldn't get homebrew installed and couldn't continue to install the Python Version Manager. Sorry to be critical but I'm sure I wasn't the first person in the 18,463 viewers before me that ran into this issue.

I'm sorry to hear that man. homebrew is made for mac. If you are using a mac, open your terminal and paste the code that they give you on this page: brew.sh/ After running it, you will have to restart your terminal or open a new terminal window. Let me know if you have any questions!

another great video Alejandro. Inspired me to finally get around to doing this. question. I see that pyenv also support virtual environments via pyenv virtualenv. you can configure the project directory to auto activate whenever you cd into that directory. Any reason why you are using the standard venv technique for activation?

@alejandro_ao

Жыл бұрын

hey there! i'm glad this was useful! indeed, pyenv also supports virtual environments and in some cases they may even be more straightforward! i am just used to using standard venv from python. but it's more of a personal choice. you can choose to use whichever suits you best 💪

I really like the idea and the approach with the pyenv. But I still have a question, whats the difference between this approach and using conda to set up an environment ?

@alejandro_ao

Жыл бұрын

hey there, conda is another package manager for python, just like pip. and it also supports virtual environments. you can do the same thing that we did here using conda. the important thing is that your packages are contained in a virtual environment to make dependency management easier. but you can use whichever tool you want for this. geeksforgeeks has a good article on how to set up anaconda: www.geeksforgeeks.org/set-up-virtual-environment-for-python-using-anaconda/

I ran python --version zsh: command not found: python What can I do? Thanks!

Can you make a windows version of this? I've been struggling so much connecting my VS code with python. Sometimes some libraries would work and sometimes it wouldn't. I've been asking on ChatGPT, Perplexity, & Bing etc... but at this point I don't know what to do. I even uninstalled both Python and Vs code then downloaded again but still somehow doesn't work. Same error

Hey Alejandro, I was wondering how do you install Homebrew for windows?

@alejandro_ao

Жыл бұрын

hey there, no need for homebrew in windows. you can use other package managers on windows if you want or just use regular installers. homebrew is specially useful on mac because it makes your computer work pretty much like linux. if you are on windows, i’d recommend you install wsl (windows subsystem for linux) in order to get a similar experience 💪🏼

At 30:30 minutes (Activate your virtual environment), for Windows Power Shell: ./venv/Scripts/activate

Please do i need a graphics card?

What about for windows?

🥰🥰🥰

I ve been following step by step to set up a virtual environment with pyenv, but in Windows, using the pyenv-win version. I actually went quite smooth until running activate and deactivate bats. Anyone had the same issues? I mean when I run "venv/sripts/activate" I get the prompt preceeded by "(venv)". But python still comes from pyenv, outside my project folder copy, as it shows doing "pyenv which python"... hope someone can help me. Great video BTW! (Spanish, French or English help is appreciated ;) )

@raduirava

Жыл бұрын

hey Raul. after a lot of debugging, my assumption is that "pyenv which python" is not actually the equivalent of "which python" on Mac, it just always returns the pyenv python path. instead, you should be using "where.exe python" and take the first path in the list. hope this helps!

I will really like a windows version of this please 😭😭

(Windows + wsl + conda + vs )is best combo

​@@ken5hinI encountered a similar issue on an M2 MBP running Sonoma (which doesn't come with Python installed by default). If you run eval "$(pyenv init --path)", it should solve the python command not being found issue. If it doesn't there's some other issue. If that eval cmd works, then you can add a symlink to have a permanent ability to use "python" since the eval will only work on the current terminal session. Hope that helps.
