Python Virtual Environments

About this Workshop

If you're building apps with Python, you'll most likely be using third-party libraries and therefore need to use a virtual environment. This workshop will explain what Python virtual environments are. Then, you'll learn to use the venv tool to work with virtual environments, and how to install packages specific to your project. Finally, you'll learn how to replicate your virtual environments with others, such as fellow students, clients, or your development team. You will finish the workshop with a solid understanding of how to use virtual environments to maintain project dependencies and avoid conflicts with other Python projects.

What you'll learn

• Managing a virtual environment
• Managing packages within a virtual environment
• Replicating a virtual environment
