🐍 Python Virtual Environments

Python virtual environments are important because they allow you to isolate your project dependencies. This means you can have different versions of the same package for different projects, without any conflicts. This is especially useful when you’re working on multiple projects with different requirements.

Here are some aliases and functions I use for managing Python virtual environments:

• createvenv: This alias creates a new Python virtual environment in the .venv directory and activates it. Command: python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate

Functions

• pyenv-list: Lists all available Python versions that can be installed with pyenv. Command: pyenv install --list
• pyenv-install-310: Sets the local Python version for the current directory to 3.10.12 using pyenv. Command: pyenv local 3.10.12

Remember to deactivate your virtual environment when you’re done working on your project. You can do this by simply typing deactivate in your terminal.
