Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You probably want to install your dependencies into a virtual environment

#

what does that mean 😭

green radish
#

What's the path to your project?

#

You can make a virtual environment with python -m venv path\to\your\project\.venv

#

Then activate it and install into that. It will add pytest to your PATH
