Using Virtual Environments

• Virtual Environments virtualenv docs

1. To create a virtual environment

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 project_name

2. To activate the virtual environment, navigate to the /project_name directory and type

source bin/activate

3. Install any packages required for the project while in the virtual environment

pip install psycopg2

4. To deactivate the environment, type

deactivate

Freezing the Virtual Environment

1. To see a list of packages in the environment, type:

pip list --format=columns

2. To create a list of required packages, along with the required version of the package, for the project in the standard requirements.txt file, type:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

3. If you need to recreate an environment using a requirements.txt file, type:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Bug with pyvenv3

1. Virtual environment must be created without Pip

pyvenv3 --without-pip project_name

2. Activate the virtual environment, navigate to the /project_name directory and type

source bin/activate

3. Grab Pip manually and install

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
