Hi Giles, Do we need to install python every time we want to set up a virtual environment?

@mohammadrafivulla8368

No@@ShailjaGupta16, you can use the same "python"(that you have previously installed) to make any number of virtual environments you want, by just including the same path for the "python". But you need to install it every time there is a newer version of python available or when you need an older version, say for some old project that you have cloned...

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been developing command line, desktop and web software over years on Linux and Windows, and have been thinking about which machine learning/ IoT project to launch into next, but have paused this development knowing python and library versioning issues could create more grief than I'm ready to deal with. Your tutorial on virtual python environments may be a game changer for me, as now I can continue development without these roadblocks derailing my efforts!

You still got it all wrong... You installed on Windows and not Linux 😜 Linux is a completely different maze and would love to have a full tutorial on setting up virtual environments with libraries on Linux

Learned it the hard way. Cloud based solutions are also good for this. Anaconda offer the possibility of setting up multiple environments as well.

FINNALLY!! not just another super technical "introduction" striped of high level illustration of what the topic is about. thank you for keeping it dumbed down for a set amount of time before introducing abbreviations after abbreviations

I thought you were going to talk about Anaconda but still was a great video, I didn't know you could create venvs without modules or conda.

Welcome back-- missed the videos

Thank you so much for the video. I had such conflicts you mention. I was told to use anaconda instead, to manage the packages. Do you think your method is best than using anaconda? What would be the advantages/disadvantages of your method above anaconda? Thank you in advance

Thanks for this video, still in the middle of watching it but I wanted to say that in case I forget which I usually do. I've been dabbling with python for months now and I would have to say this is probably one of the biggest lapses in my self Learning Journey.

This was definitely one of the pieces of the puzzle that I've been missing! Thank you so much!

Do you save your project files corresponding to 'my_env' in 'pyproj\my_env', 'pyproj' or 'pyproj\my_env\Scripts'?

In your course - do you give directions / advise on setup from the complete beginner? It would be even better if you explain how to do this with MS Visual Studio IDE

The ukelele tutorial really helped with my ADHD, this is probably the first time in my KZread history I watched a KZread video without tuning out and rewinding. Please consider keeping it if you haven't already. Thanks

Great video, thanks. It would be a great help if you could do a followup video on how to package and deploy to production server once Python project is done.

Such a practical and logical install, as it should be done mate, thanks a lot, this will help me a lot with the famous python interpreters

Some Maxwell’s equations in the background, cool :) Cheers!

That was fantastic, thank you. Just what I was looking for.

Great stuff Giles, I like your whacky style - and also Maxwell's equations!

The title is a bit misleading. You nailed some early frustrations when first learning Python that are not clear coming from using other package managers. I should note that virtual environments are great from a development perspective, but moving that to a deployable for systems on a network without going through pypi is still not well explained or documented, and to be frank shouldn't need to be. What I'd prefer is a simple command and clear standard to package the venv completely with the deps in it as the installable package. I think wheels is trying to fill this hole, but it still feels way more esoteric than it needs to be if not following the "put it on pypi" norm you see on tons of tutorials.

This literally happened to me, so glad I saw this

How did I not find you yet? I am a subscriber now, and also a fan of your videos. Thanks!

Thank you, very clarifying explanation on Python's virtual environments. The ukelele is great but I prefer the guitar. Maxwell's equations are also great but Einstein's General Relativity equations are more appealing ;-) (I don't mention Schrödinger equation because, in spite of its practical success, it is "probably" wrong :-D)

Hello Giles, thank you so much for this video. What an amazing video! I've never saw it anywhere else.

good strategy with the ukelele for "wait times", I usually check something on the web and then forget to ever come back. An instrument provides a diversion with a limited amount of options. I'll run out of chords/song fairly quickly and then remember to get back to work.

A software like Flask may only work with certain versions of python packages & not others - hence one installs Flask in a virtual env ('sandbox') with all the dependent packages. Of course, another sandbox can be created for another software. Does miniconda allow you to do such? I have no experience with it, just asking.

Got a question, I don't remember how I installed it last time since it was a year ago but I probably made similar mistakes that you did, I didn't set it up on my vscode either, then when I had a python file there and wanted to run coverage or similar tests, I got a wrong command error as it likely was the python problem since I had it in 3 different folders somehow. I have uninstalled it and removed from PATH including my IDEs that use it, now I wanted to reinstall it, should I do it your way then just install vscode again, somehow set it up, will it work like that or should I just default install and tick the add to path option?

I wish I had this video when I started with python 10 years ago. At the time I recall it was more complicated than now, or at least that was my feeling.

Hi, Giles, I am a python begnner and thanks a lot for your great advice. I've seen many of your videos about best python books you recommended and I've bought some of them including and etc.. Your playing piano and ukulele is very cool , and I love music as well even I hope to learn some music analysis ,composing, gaming by machine learning in the future if possible . Have you ever set up some projects about music?

Thought this would be about managing multiple versions of Python in an OS (e.g. pyenv) It seemed like you want to have a completely separate installation of Python for every project to be made, potentially installing the same version several times for each project. Isn't that kind of... janky?

This may be obvious to most, but can you comment on this virtual environment and where you would store your actual python code files. Would it be in this "pyproj" folder or a subfolder. Would you just add git to this folder that has the python code files? And last can you talk about how you would update python to the next version with this approach? Thanks so much great video.

Awesome, step by step, well done. I've installed python, thank you

Thanks for this. The ukulele segment was exceptional lol

If pip and or python aren't recognized in spite of re-installing Python over and over, try this.. Move the path variables for those up to the top of the path list. For me, there was a bad path somewhere in an old path setting that was being found first before my new path entry was found and thus the new path setting was ignored. Using the Move Up button, I moved my new path settings for Python and Python\Scripts up to the top of the list and problem solved!

If you use a code editor instead of the command prompt do you still need to use virtual environments?

I installed python in D driver, saved some basic projects and it can be a little confused. Should i uninstall and rearrange everything

Virtual environments are, indeed, important to use when you're doing Python development. But, they are not part of "installing python" - they're part of using python. This strikes me as clickbait.

I think you are wrong sir, because if you install Python with Anaconda it installs it under a general folder -not named after the Python version- which as a newbie makes things more complicated if you are to prepare for the futureand need to work with different Python versions. In my opinion paying attention to the folder you install Python in and naming it with the version number is a very wide decision. That only from the installation point of view. If then you add all the advice regarding virtual environment this video is GOLDEN.

Back in the day we had to deal with MS dll hell. Library dependency hell has kept me from embracing Python in this day and time although early on I did use Python to create a quick and dirty embedded calculator in an enterprise Java application. Virtual environments seems to offer a clear path to ML and deep learning. A useful adjunct to data science in R.

if you wanna get even more advanced, try using pyenv and poetry for managing python versions and packages, it's comfy

This is great advice.. Best to get into the habit from the beginning.. Also makes it super easy to deploy to heroku and so on as you can freeze the requirements to a text file

Great video and I learned something today! Trying to figure out how I can implement at work with dozens of Python scripts running on a remote desktop (or laptop) - we'd need the virtual environments setup on THAT machine, no? Windows machine runs all the scripts via Task Scheduler

Do you have any experience or recommendations regarding running projects in environments on Linux systems? For example, a project that continues to run while you go on with other work. The same project would need to be launched in the environment even after the system was rebooted.

Learn shell scripting. My advice for anyone doing python on any OS is to learn how to set your Environment variables with shell scripts, and keep in mind that python packages don't always play nice with your lines.

This is a great introduction for people who are just getting into python, but don't don't want to step into the world of Anaconda etc, which seems to add more complexity. Speaking from experience. Thanks!

One of Maxwell's equations actually has an application in computer graphics in relation to rotation of discrete objects. As in; if a thing is rotating, it takes /time/ for it to rotate. This in turn is related to quantum mechanics and the observer effect, that you have to observe this discrete object and measure it, to know how much it has rotated. Another random math fact... The formula for finding power factor follows Pythagoras' formula.

Your videos are amazing, both in terms of actually properly discussing what you set out to and the interludes that come on.

On Linux there is a tool called "asdf" that can handle with different versions of any interpreter so we can have multiple Python on machine, It's an amazing tool that can save us a lot of time. Another tool to handle virtualenvs and our dependencies it's Python Poetry, it's really helpful and easy to use.
