Pain Points Series: Python and Virtualenv By Craig Maloney

Pain Points: Python and Virtualenv

Pain Points is a series of short talks that describe areas that seem to cause folks pain; whether that's installing software, understanding how to best configure something, or figuring out how something fits into a workflow.

This month we'll talk about Python and Virtual Environments. Python uses Virtual Environments to separate your program's Python environment from other program Python environments. But Virtual Environments can be a little confusing to use. In this talk Craig Maloney will go over the fundamentals of how to set up Virtual Environments. He'll also cover how to use Virtual Environments, best practices to keep in mind while using Virtual Environments, and neat tricks to help ease the pain of using them.

Craig Maloney is one of the board members of the Michigan!/usr/group. He overshares his life at http://decafbad.net.
