Simple_Venv_Manager-python3.6-windows-

For now, it's mostly a simple script that will:

Create a folder if it doesn't exist.
Creates a venv with user supplied name.
Makes a .bat file on your desktop to use as a launcher that:
- Launches a command prompt in the virtual environments folder, with the virtul environment activated.

What is the purpose of this tool?

To create and delete virtual environments using a GUI.
To create a launcher shortcut on your desktop that launches a command prompt in the virtual environment with the virtual environment activated.

How is this different from using another tool?

It's a small project that doesn't do much, makes it readable for the begginner.
But mostly, this is a project I started off with to help me complete a simple task I do repeatedly. I decided I want to turn this into a project for me to get more practice and learn from.

My hope is to remove a barrier for people just getting into Python. To have a way of managing virtual environments with no learning curve so they can focus on their study.

Usage:

Grab the file create_projects.py, place it on your desktop or anywhere you prefer. You can create a shortcut to it if you placed it in somewhere other than your desktop. The other files are not needed at this point in time.
Double click the to execute the python script.
A folder (called "python_venvs") will be created in the current users directory (Usually located at "C:\Users\[Your username]").
A name you specify will be used to create the environment (_venv will be appended to the environments name).
A .bat file will be created on your desktop with the name you provided (_venv will be appended to the name you provide).
Double click the .bat file to open a command prompt in the venv created, with the venv activated.
