My question: environments! about learn-python3 HOT 2 CLOSED

This is now better explained in best practices, see: https://jerry-git.github.io/learn-python3/notebooks/intermediate/html/best_practices.html#One-virtual-environment-per-project

Thanks for the question!

I'd say pipenv is the way to go for the majority of the use cases, especially if you're developing deployable applications. However, if you're developing e.g. libraries which have to support multiple different Python versions, pipenv is not necessarily the best option. From the pipenv docs:

Ideally, you should only have one target Python version, as this is a deployment tool.

If pipenv seems not to be suitable for your needs, I recommend checking out virtualenvwrapper, using requirements.txt file for listing dependencies, and using pip for installing the dependencies.

Considering the materials in this repo, I'll refactor the virtual environments notebook to cover pipenv. Now that it's mentioned here, it's officially on my todo list 😃
