Video A virtual environment is a tool that helps to keep dependencies required by different projects separate by creating isolated python virtual environments for them. This is one of the most important tools that most Python developers use. Why do we need a virtual environment? Imagine a scenario where you are working on two web-based python projects one of them uses Django 4.0 and the other uses Django 4.1 (check for the latest Django versions and so on). In such situations virtual environment can be really useful to maintain the dependencies of both projects. When and where to use a virtual environment? By default, every project on your system will use these same directories to store and retrieve site packages (third-party libraries). How does this matter? Now, in the above example of two projects, you have two versions of Django. This is a real problem for Python since it can’t differentiate hetween versions in the “site-nackaaes” directory Sa both v19 and v1 10 We use cookies to ensure you have the best browsing experience on our website.

To solve this problem, we just need to create two separate virtual environments for both projects. The great thing about this is that there are no limits to the number of environments you can have since they're just directories conti ing a few scripts. A virtual Environment should be used whenever you work on any Python-based project. It is generally good to have one new virtual environment for every Python-based project you work on. So the dependencies of every project are isolated from the system and each other. How does a virtual environment work? We use a module named virtualenv which is a tool to create isolated Python environments. virtualeny creates a folder that contains all the necessary executables to use the packages that a Python project would need. Installing virtualenv $ pip install virtualenv Test your installation: $ virtualenv --version Using virtualenv You can create a virtualenv using the following command: $ virtualenv my_name After running this command, a directory named my_name will be created. This is the directory that contains all the necessary executables to use the packages that a Python project would need. This is where Python packages will be installed. If you want to specify the Python interpreter of your choice, for example, Python 3, it can be done using the following command: $ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 virtualenv_name To create a Python 2.7 virtual environment, use the following command: $ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 virtualenv_name We use cookies to ensure you have the best browsing experience on our website.

To activate virtual environment using windows command prompt change directory to your virtual env $ cd $ Scripts\activate $ source virtualenv_name/bin/activate mayank@mayank-Inspiron-3542: ~/Documents/work Once the virtual environment is activated, the name of your virtual environment will appear on the left side of the terminal. This will let you know that the virtual environment is currently active. In the image below, venv named virtual environment is active. Now you can install dependencies related to the project in this virtual environment. For example, if you are using Django 1.9 for a project, you can install it like you install other packages.
