Thank you tremendously for this video--you beautifully outlined or "colored-in" what was missing from the GitHub docs to run versions and even virtual environment with VS Code. Brilliant. Thank you. 🙂
This was completely necessary for someone like me running full time linux and having to work sometimes on windows with no idea how to even "cd" or "ls -l" on windows. Thank god the powershell has those commands.
after multiple iterations, it took me this one video to get it right. thank you!
Probably one of the best tutorial videos i've seen, thank you!!

Thank you so much K0nze!! This tutorial is the best about pyenv in youtube!!! You saved my life a lot of times. The first time I watched it was in 2022 and today you helped me again !! God bless you so much !!!
This is an incredible tutorial. It's straight to the point and tells you everything you need to know to get started. Thank you!
Thanks mate. Very informative and easy to follow. Good Job!

for people whose "python -V" is showing old version after pyenv shell NEW_PYTHON_VERSION, head over to search bar and type "Manage app execution aliases" and untoggle all the python related thing, check if the command works now in a new terminal, if not then you have to uninstall all the previous instances of python installed from control panel while having already done the first step above. It should solve the issue. Enjoy folks!! Nice video dude

You're a monster, really nice video
Maan you are soo good!
Amazing instruction video. Is it possible that you could list out the steps that are 1 time and which steps are to be repeated each time a new virtual environment is needed?
Great video, this has helped me alot. This is something I have struggled with for a while. The only question I have is around installing python packages/modules in the virtual environment such as numpy, scikit, matplotlib etc. Would this be as simple as using pip while in the virtual environment? Are these installed packages persistent when the environment is deactivated and activated again? If not is there a way to have these as a present to be installed every time the venv is activated?
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. Very easy and straight to the point.

Thank you for the video. How do see the list of the different virtual environments installed in the system. Can something like pyenv plugin like pyenv- virtualenv or similar be used.
Thanks for the nice video. One question though: VS code does not recognize the .venv automatically for me, also not after creating settings.json and/or launch.json. I have to select it manually. Are there prerequisites for VS Code to select the .venv automatically?
Thank you
This is a good video and Thanks a lot for sharing this tutorial. But I have a question After we set python 3.10 to the local folder "Python Test" and how to delete that python 3.10 on local?
Really Thanks :,,V
would you use wsl for python development on windows if you are collaborating with other people on different os?
THank you so much, does this mean i can select the pyenv as an interpreter in pycharm?
Thanks!

Super hilfreiches Video! Der Teil mit settings.json ist wohl nicht mehr nötig, das macht VSCode mitlerweile automatisch. Allerdings zeigt es im Terminal nicht an, dass man in einer (.venv)ist. Super praktisch und als Anfänger konnte ich jetzt einen simplen pyemv-installer machen, der mir automatisch ein passendes Environment zu meinem Projekt aufsetzt 😊

ok so what do I do if I get to pyenv shell, and when i do python -v i get a huge amount of text back - presumably because i have system python on windows that is 3.10 ... i'm trying to do all this so i can run a thing that needs python 3.8

Using the the command pyenv shell 3.7.9 does not change the python version to 3.7.9 rather gives me my default system python version

Is running the command-prompt as admin the same as using powershell? What happens if you already have multiple python versions already installed, before you've installed pyenv? I sometimes have to run a windows setup exe or a whl to install a specific python package.. (for example PyQt 5.4 can't be installed via pip), how would this work with pyenv/virtualenv? I'm actually only interested in building EXEs from 2 python versions.. Python 3.4.4 (32-bit for WinXP) and Python 3.11.1 (64-bit). Would it be easier in my case to just change the PATH whenever I want to switch between? What would pyenv/venv add?
thank you! But what if I haven't admin rights?
what if I want to change the version of python in vscode? What shell I do?
Thank you! That was really helpful!

Thank you! I got a problem though, I followed the instructions but when I entered "python -V" it just returned the current python version on my system which is 3.10.1, while I installed and activated the 3.8.2 in pyenv; Can u help me out with this issue?

Do we need to install 1 version of python to path so we can install pyenv?
How can i disable temporarily this and use the python installed on the system instead?
I had the problem that I installed the 3.10.8 version in pyenv, but python -V showed me the 3.11.1 version which I had installed directly in my pc. Solved the problem by uninstalling 3.11.1 and installing it in pyenv. Hope it helps someone who has had the same problem

I installed 3.10.6 with the "penv install 3.10.6" but every time i try to swap to it or set it as global it shows me that i am on 3.9.12 afterwards. Is there a way to tell what I did wrong? I want to use python 3.10.6 for Stable diffusion while using a newer version of python for the rest of my system. Is this even the correct way to achieve that? I am here because I tried to install 2 python versions on WIn 10 and while installing python 3.10.6 it just told me that there is already a python verison on my pc so i cant install another. :(

What's the hardware minimum requirements for?
I already have python 3.11 and did not work for me. In pyenv I see 3.9.6 but normally '> python -v' returns 3.11.0 by the way it was really good
This is a great video. Is there an easy way though to use pyenv to switch to the systems python version?

Thank you William! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The default Python version of you system is usually determined by the order of paths in the PATH variable. When you run "python" on the command line the operating system will check the PATH variable if it can find a match. The first match it finds is the default version.

It seems like the pip you run is not the pip coming from pyenv but from the system python installation.
The term 'pyenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. 4:10
