Python - venv

Alternative: Use Docker - Container for Python (it sucks)

On CLI:

1. Move to the desired location using cd.
   REMEBER: if you want to go to another directory (C:\ ⇒ D:\) use cd \d.
2. python -m venv [VIRUTAL ENVIRONMENT NAME]
   NOTE: This will create a new folder.
3. `cd [VIRUTAL ENVIRONMENT NAME]“
4. Scripts\activate.bat
5. To install modules and packages only on the virtual environment use python -m pip install [PACKAGE NAME]
6. To exit the virtual environment: Scripts\deactivate.bat

On CLI - Similar Way:

1. Move to the desired location using cd.
   REMEBER: if you want to go to another directory (C:\ ⇒ D:\) use cd \d.
2. python -m venv [VIRUTAL ENVIRONMENT NAME]
   NOTE: This will create a new folder.
3. [VIRUTAL ENVIRONMENT NAME]\Scripts\activate.bat
4. To install modules and packages only on the virtual environment use python -m pip install [PACKAGE NAME]
5. To exit the virtual environment: `[VIRUTAL ENVIRONMENT NAME]\Scripts\deactivate.bat

Move/Sync your Virtual Environment (Method I):

(TO BE TESTED, not sure if it will work)

1. Create 2 virtual environments (where you want to move/sync)
2. After installing the wanted libraries use the command python -m pip freeze > requirements.txtI
3. In the other virtual environment use the command: python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Move/Sync your Virtual Environment (Method II):

1. Create 2 virtual environments (where you want to move/sync)
2. Copy everything exepts the Scripts folder from venv_1 to venv_2
3. (Optional): With Syncthing we can add to the ingore patterns Scripts, this will exclude the Scripts folder to be synced

On Sublime Text:

1. Create a new project in the : [VIRUTAL ENVIRONMENT NAME] directory just created. Hamburger Menu -> Project -> Save Project As
2. Once it has create a project it will also create a .sublime-project file and a .sublime-workspace file, in the .sublime-project file past this code (changed accordingly)

   {
    "folders":
    [
    	{
    		"path": ".."
    	}
    ],
    "build_systems":
    [
    	{
    		"name" : "[BUILD SYSTEM NAME]",
    		"cmd": ["$folder/Scripts/python.exe", "$file"],
    		"selector": "source.python",
    		"file_regex": "^\\s*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)"
    	}
    ]

}
