Michał Wodyński - Difficulties of Python code development:packages,virtualenvs and package mangers

Python

Learn how to overcome the difficulties of Python code development by mastering package management with virtual environments, package managers like pip, pyenv, pipenv, and poetry, and tips for simplifying distribution and installation.

Key takeaways

Python code development is difficult due to package management complexity
Virtual environments can isolate dependencies and ensure reproducibility
pip is not resolving dependencies and has issues with installing specific versions
pyenv is a convenient and reliable way to manage Python versions
pipenv is an alternative to pip that resolves dependencies
poetry is another package manager that resolves dependencies faster
It’s recommended to use pyenv to manage Python versions and poetry to manage dependencies
Conda is another package manager that can be used, especially for non-Python packages
Using virtual environments with pyenv and poetry can simplify package management
Creating packages with setuptools can be time-consuming and error-prone
Building packages with wheels can simplify distribution and installation
The Python community has many choices and implementations, leading to confusion
It’s important to choose the right package manager and version of Python for the project
