How to create venv in python

Yeah, I know that this is easily googled. But… I don’t want to google it everytime. Lets preserve that commands for creation virtual environment here.

Ok, so when I started to work with new project I have to:

• Get the code somehow. For example, git clone repo (well obvious)
• Create a virtual environment with python3 -m venv venv.
• Activate the virtual environment.
• Install the dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.
• Run the application.

How to create venv for Windows

python \path\to\code
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

How to create venv for Linux

python /path/tp/code
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Set up unit tests with directory structure

You have to add pytest.ini and specify there paths to your folder structure

[pytest]

addopts = -ra
testpaths = tests
pythonpath = src

Oh, it’s just reminds me that I always forget which group should I add my user to so shared folder for virtualBox (linux) started to work without admin rights. But this is another story….
