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.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

the screenshot depicts someone using an editor like PyCharm or Visual Studio Code.

#

python programs are .py files, and those files are fundamentally just plain text--even more plain than a Word document. any magic like that drop-down menu comes from a text editor that knows you're writing Python code.

#

up to you. I'm a pycharm fanboy, but the abundence of features can be overwhelming for a beginner. you could also use a text editor like notepad++ or sublime.

The top one require you to pay

#

No

download the community one

Community edition at the lower one

They come with most feature you would ever need

just click next.

#

So most :)

#

On the left panel, click the drop-down menu and you can see your file

#

In the project

#

No

#

Lower

#

Where you can see a folder

#

You don't have any file coded

#

You need to create one

#

How would you create a file in explorer?

#

How would you do it?

#

Similar, but you should create it in the folder of the project

#

Just create it by righting clicking there instead

#

Ye

#

Basically, it just similar to a normal interface

#

IDE is just a all in one tooling for development (except probably a browser for researching stuff

#

pri

#

And check the autocomplete you ask for

#

Just type pri

#

In the file

#

And you can see what PyCharm suggest you

#

You need to install that package.

#

Run that command in the Terminal tab inside Pycharm. Pycharm creates a virtual environment that it runs your code in.

#

Bottom

#

The install command, yes

#

It doesn't hurt too, but isn't necessary.

#

You can

#

Wait, not that

#

Because of the virtual environment like I mentioned. That terminal you have open doesn't have the virtual environment activated. You need to either activate it, or use Pycharm's terminal instead, which auto-activates it when you open it.

Python environments

The main purpose of Python virtual environments is to create an isolated environment for Python projects. This means that each project can have its own dependencies, such as third party packages installed using pip, regardless of what dependencies every other project has.

To see the current environment in use by Python, you can run:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.executable
'/usr/bin/python3'

To see the environment in use by pip, you can do pip debug (pip3 debug for Linux/macOS). The 3rd line of the output will contain the path in use e.g. sys.executable: /usr/bin/python3.

If Python's sys.executable doesn't match pip's, then they are currently using different environments! This may cause Python to raise a ModuleNotFoundError when you try to use a package you just installed with pip, as it was installed to a different environment.

Why use a virtual environment?

  • Resolve dependency issues by allowing the use of different versions of a package for different projects. For example, you could use Package A v2.7 for Project X and Package A v1.3 for Project Y.
  • Make your project self-contained and reproducible by capturing all package dependencies in a requirements file. Try running pip freeze to see what you currently have installed!
  • Keep your global site-packages/ directory tidy by removing the need to install packages system-wide which you might only need for one project.

#

To do what?

#

Ya, but to do what?

#

You ran the pip command that installed requests inside of Pycharm's terminal?

#

Do it again and screenshot it

#

Use python -m pip install requests. I can't remember how py insteracts with virtual environments.

#

And you don't need the --upgrade pip when installing a package.

#

Get rid of the part in the ' 's.

#

python -m pip install requests

#

I have to go unfortunately. Look into virtual environments. You need to run the code in the same environment that you installed the libraries into.

#

can you copy this text

#

here

# 
"C:\Users\kbist\PycharmProjects\First Try With python.venv\Scripts\python.exe"  -m pip install -r requirements.txt
#

run this

# 
"C:\Users\kbist\PycharmProjects\First Try With python.venv\Scripts\python.exe" -m pip install -r requirements.txt
#

sorry made a mistake

quaint harbor
#

Trying typing the dash m with your keyboard not copy paste

#

Same with the dash r

#

Try typing the double quotes yourself too.

#

(File link, were you on iPhone?)

inland juniper
#

im on android and idk why its saying that tbh, itll work in a normal cmd window

quaint harbor
#

Double quote beginning and end of the path

#

see the grey space to the right of With python >

#

click that grey space and enter cmd then press enter

#

replace the text with cmd then press enter

#

also you did not git clone the project

#

did you delete everything in the box first then enter in cmd?

#

literally cmd

#

yes, although it wont work cause you did not git clone

# 
"C:\Users\kbist\PycharmProjects\First Try With python\.venv\Scripts\python.exe" -m pip install -r requirements.txt
#

the github page said how to rerember

#

yeah expected

#

yes

#

you need to install git

#

or you can manually download the files

#

yes

#

you can close that

#

youll need to open another cmd window like i explained before

#

nice

inland juniper
#

no because you are using a venv

#

you didnt paste in the command correctly

#

you see what you did wrong?

#

just run this command

#

youre not in the project directory

#

just the last cd DiscordUsernameChecker

#

cd stands for change directory

inland juniper
#

you didnt copy it correctly

#

no, its missing a \ between python and `.venv'

#

its because of Discord text formatting

wanton canyon
#

Just activate the venv

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

#

And then you'll just use pip and python

#

!venv

Virtual environments

Virtual environments are isolated Python environments, which make it easier to keep your system clean and manage dependencies. By default, when activated, only libraries and scripts installed in the virtual environment are accessible, preventing cross-project dependency conflicts, and allowing easy isolation of requirements.

To create a new virtual environment, you can use the standard library venv module: python3 -m venv .venv (replace python3 with python or py on Windows)

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

Windows (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
or (Command Prompt): .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
MacOS / Linux (Bash): source .venv/bin/activate

Packages can then be installed to the virtual environment using pip, as normal.

For more information, take a read of the documentation. If you run code through your editor, check its documentation on how to make it use your virtual environment. For example, see the VSCode or PyCharm docs.

Tools such as poetry and pipenv can manage the creation of virtual environments as well as project dependencies, making packaging and installing your project easier.

Note: When using PowerShell in Windows, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once per user:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

#

why?

# 
cd ..

.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
#

they are 2 separate commands

#

huzah its activated now

#

now cd DiscordUsernameChecker

#

pip install -r requirements.txt

#

pip install -r requirements.txt

#

nice, now what did the github say

#

python cloud_checker.py

#

thats not really python related youll have to check the github page for guidance on that

#

youll have to activate the venv again

# 
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
#

youre not in the correct folder

#

here you was

#

do you understand what cd does?

#

to activate the venv, the parent folder

#

you only need to pip install once per venv

#

this folder

#

im sorry its getting late right now i gotta go sleep
