In fact, some operating systems like macOS and Ubuntu have Python pre-installed. However, global installation has limitations:. A virtual environment is like a local Python installation with a specific package set. For example, I have created virtual environments for Python as part of Jenkins build jobs, since I did not have permission to install special automation packages globally on the Jenkins slaves. The standard virtual environment tool for Python is venv , which has been packaged with C Python since 3.
Another older but still popular third-party tool is virtualenv. As explained in this Reddit post , venv is the Python-sanctioned replacement for virtualenv. However, virtualenv supports Python 2, whereas venv does not. Conda is an environment manager popular with the science and data communities, and it can support other languages in addition to Python. That being said, there is a relatively new package manager taking the Python world by storm: pipenv.
Pipenv combines pip , Pipfile , and virtualenv into an easy workflow with simple commands. Personally, I find it to be very helpful. My recommendation is to use pipenv for new projects if it meets your needs. After setting up your Python environment, you are ready to start programming! There are two routes to take for text editing: source code editors and integrated development environments. Source code editors are lightweight but often include basics like syntax highlighting and basic auto-completion.
Many have plugins. My current favorite is Visual Studio Code because the Python extensions are stellar and settings are simple — just remember to install the extensions you need!
I use it personally for Django development. They also make testing easier with plugins for test frameworks like pytest , behave , and others. Personally, I prefer PyCharm , but advanced features require a paid license. This article is dedicated to my good friend Sudarsan, who originally asked me the question in the title.
