Python Virtual Environment virualenv installation and use, pythonvirualenv

Preface

After installing python, pip, setuptools, and other tools, you can create a virualenv virtual environment. This tool is similar to a virtual machine and allows the same brain to run multiple python programs of different versions, don't affect each other. You can exit or delete it when you don't need it. It's a good development tool.

1. Install virtualenv

#install pip on macbrew install pythoncurl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | sudo pythonsudo easy_install pip#install virtualenv by pippip install virtualenv

Ii. Use of virtualenv

# Create a new environment called pythonEnv virtualenv pythonEnv # activate and then use cd pythonEnvsource bin/activate # exit the environment deactivate

Iii. Use virtualenvwrapper to manage Virtual Environments

Install virtualenvwrapper

pip install virtualenvwrapper

Configure environment variables:

vim ~/.bash_profile# Virtualenv/VirtualenvWrappersource /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh# exit vimsource ~/.bash_profile

Create Environment

Mkvirtualenv pythonEnv # In ~ /Envs create the pythonEnv folder mkvirtualenv python3Env-p python3.5 # create the python3.5 Environment

Switch environment:

workon pythonEnv

Exit environment:

deactivate

Delete environment:

rmvirtualenv pythonEnv

Others

1. Other commands

Lsvirtualenv # list all environments. Cdvirtualenv # navigate to the directory of the activated virtual environment. For example, you can browse its site-packages. Cdsitepackages # is similar to the above, but directly enters the site-packages directory. Lssitepackages # displays the content in the site-packages directory.
