For those that didn't get the venv after restarting the terminal and had an error regarding to Execution Policies, just run in the terminal the following script:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
and then:
.\.venv\Scripts\activate (for Windows)

Thanks a ton😊

[@kiyingipisgah4365]

It has taken me hours to import modules in python but after following this, I can firmly say that I have landed. Btw am a self taught programmer/coder and this was really helpful.😊

[@NewParadigmAI-zm9lj]

This is the best damned instructional ever. Honestly, so many 20 minute videos, and this dude knocks it out of the park.

[@zeebeat123]

Couldn't agree more. I have watched SO many videos and they are much longer, and many leave out small but essential details

[@abubakr9796]

Love your videos bro! Easy and simple to understand tutorials and explanations.

[@kenbajema]

Now the dozens of videos I've watched regarding installing Autogen and memgpt etc make sense!! thank you. I've been using conda environments and have had a difficult time finding the and editing the correct .py files! for packages and running them.

[@abdullahattia2491]

simple enough and straight to the point
thanks!

[@throbicon]

Thank you so much Indently! This is the easiest way to make a virtual environment. Please continue to make videos; they are valuable!

[@JamesRBentley]

bro this is the best tutorial on how to do this, clear, simple, perfectly illustrated for beginners

[@amigobrewbrew9297]

As a beginner I was lost but now it all makes sense. Thanks!

Thank you sir, I've found answer of my question here after 3 weeks.

[@azekhuoriadignity2360]

for those that did not get the (env name) in terminal path, which is supposed to be displayed in the panel after activation, its normal on Vs code right now. You can hover over the powershell or cmd button on the top of the panel to see the extensions that have contributed to the terminal environment. There you will see your virtual env running.

[@Moxaji]

thank you, this was my issue, I was confused

Amazing video!! Thanks

[@nimraiman2018]

this is exactly what i was looking for❤

[@bensonkamau1844]

actually when creating a new python file, if you create a requirements.txt under it and add modules to be used, vscode displays a button on the bottom left side asking you whether you want to create a new environment

[@trp]

Never thought it was this easy

[@joaovitor42411]

Thank you very much, man

[@Gamesoldier68]

Thank you very much for the very informative video. So i assume if you wanted to set up several virtual environments for different projects, you would just name them differently in the .venv command. Thanks again

[@AbdulKareemAbdulRahman]

how would one upgrade the phyton in a virt environment? thanks?
for instance my system wide python says it is 3.11.3 but my venv says it is 3.7.
wld be grateful for any help or signposting

[@MOHAMEDGHARBI100]

What happens when I run the .py program on another machine, do I need the pip package I installed in the virtual environment or once written I won’t need the pip package?

[@DesperadoAH]

[@Indently]

No problem!

[@thetafritz9868]

what do I do if I failed a couple times, tried again by deleting the .venv files and now no longer get the notification or the option to use the venv folder??

[@pokpok9445]

I'm a bit late but you can click on the interpreter data on the bottom-right of the window that should be called like the version of python that is installed on your computer. Then you can click at the top on "browse..." then you go in the .venv folder then scripts and python.exe

[@charlessnachez4248]

Why the « pip install discord » int he folder didnt work but it worked in the venv environment ? Is it because of some conflict with other global python packages?

[@media7588]

Thanks you

[@AB-ko2mm]

Thank you

[@anomienormie8126]

Idk what I've been struggling ten hours for when I could've just watched this and finished in 4minutes ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[@alessandrogolinelli8322]

bella per federico e daje romaaa

[@kaiman3917]

man i love you

[@Matt-lf1ik]

So are you supposed to have seperate venv folders for each project? Isnt that inecfficient as you would need multiple pip installations of the same basic things? Also would this work with git and uploading to github to work across multiple machines?

[@AliBeats_]

No, you can run multiple project from one virtual environment, 1- just use terminal to activate you're old virtual env from the old path. 2-don't forget two change the interpreter to the old virtual env, you can import anything using one venv. you just need to creat new venv when an library's update is needed so you don't corrupt your old project that are using old lib versions.

[@En1gma2u]

Thank You!!, I knew I recognized the voice -- Total Python: You Can Master Python Programming in 16 Days

[@Indently]

What’s that?

[@En1gma2u]

A class on Udemy, guy name is Federico and sounds just like you.

[@techsporadic]

Thanks

[@user-jk1gb7wm6z]

for windows ....
python -m venv myenv
Then activate it by following command...
myenv\Scripts\activate
here .... myenv is name of my environment .... u can give any name .....
Just 2 lines of Commands..

[@tech-n-data]

If I had hair, I would have pulled it out trying to figure out why I code wasn't usin the venv. Thank you for this video.

[@schmeiser_]

great video as always, btw I wanna ask why in my python, I cant import tkinter? it says " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_tkinter' "

[@dylancastelli8409]

thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[@ivanperez4878]

you rock!

[@anab6636]

if I made a file organizer code in python, but I'm scared to try it out on my actual computer, can I run it here??

[@ivosacagami121]

i`m having a problem with the venv on the windows.
Everytime that I reopen the project, like the next day, I have to reactivate the virtual enviroment. Is that correct? Do I have another way to do it?
what I`m doing is opening the cmd on the folder and then running "code . " to open vscode with the right directory.
then I have to go and put the "Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process"
and then ".\ .venv\Scripts\activate"
everytime. What am I doing wrong? or is that normal ?
PLease

[@Code4U_]

Forget a .\ and searching for how to fix ps1 error ...... Thanks ❤

[@user-fd2nh2oo4i]

Although I completely followed this video, the error resists:ImportError: No module named statistics what should I do?

[@srivatsavm3892]

i know this is a late reply cuz i just saw it but, after creating virtual environment you have to install your packages again using pip install

[@Virtual4087]

​@@srivatsavm3892 Do we need to install all the packages that are already installed in our system again when we activate a virtual environment?

[@riluwan9279]

bruhh ig its inbuilt

[@al.habibii]

Hello, i'm creating a new folder named 'folder', and then following this step. But why after print('Hello!'), and text 'pip install discord' in vscode terminal, my vscode install discord? as i see in this video, there must be command not found: pip, but that's not happened in my vscode..

[@boyinpyjamas]

Great video but could have mentioned how to deselect select delete venvs.

[@gbvtech]

why does the visual studio website says do not use the virtual environment same as a workspace folder? in your video you selected it as yes to use as a workspace folder
