<span id="tut-venv"></span><h1>12. Virtual Environments and Packages<a class="headerlink" href="#virtual-environments-and-packages" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<div class="section" id="introduction">
<h2>12.1. Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#introduction" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Python applications will often use packages and modules that dont
come as part of the standard library. Applications will sometimes
need a specific version of a library, because the application may
require that a particular bug has been fixed or the application may be
written using an obsolete version of the librarys interface.</p>
<p>This means it may not be possible for one Python installation to meet
the requirements of every application. If application A needs version
1.0 of a particular module but application B needs version 2.0, then
the requirements are in conflict and installing either version 1.0 or 2.0
will leave one application unable to run.</p>
<p>The solution for this problem is to create a <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-virtual-environment"><span class="xref std std-term">virtual environment</span></a>, a
self-contained directory tree that contains a Python installation for a
particular version of Python, plus a number of additional packages.</p>
<p>Different applications can then use different virtual environments.
To resolve the earlier example of conflicting requirements,
application A can have its own virtual environment with version 1.0
installed while application B has another virtual environment with version 2.0.
If application B requires a library be upgraded to version 3.0, this will
not affect application As environment.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="creating-virtual-environments">
<h2>12.2. Creating Virtual Environments<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-virtual-environments" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The module used to create and manage virtual environments is called
<a class="reference internal" href="../library/venv.html#module-venv" title="venv: Creation of virtual environments."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">venv</span></code></a>. <a class="reference internal" href="../library/venv.html#module-venv" title="venv: Creation of virtual environments."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">venv</span></code></a> will usually install the most recent version of
Python that you have available. If you have multiple versions of Python on your
system, you can select a specific Python version by running <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python3</span></code> or
whichever version you want.</p>
<p>To create a virtual environment, decide upon a directory where you want to
place it, and run the <a class="reference internal" href="../library/venv.html#module-venv" title="venv: Creation of virtual environments."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">venv</span></code></a> module as a script with the directory path:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">python3</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">m</span> <span class="n">venv</span> <span class="n">tutorial</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">env</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This will create the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">tutorial-env</span></code> directory if it doesnt exist,
and also create directories inside it containing a copy of the Python
interpreter, the standard library, and various supporting files.</p>
<p>Once youve created a virtual environment, you may activate it.</p>
<p>On Windows, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">tutorial</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">env</span>\<span class="n">Scripts</span>\<span class="n">activate</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">bat</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>On Unix or MacOS, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python3 notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">source</span> <span class="n">tutorial</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">env</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nb">bin</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">activate</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>(This script is written for the bash shell. If you use the
<strong class="program">csh</strong> or <strong class="program">fish</strong> shells, there are alternate
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">activate.csh</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">activate.fish</span></code> scripts you should use
instead.)</p>
<p>Activating the virtual environment will change your shells prompt to show what
virtual environment youre using, and modify the environment so that running
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python</span></code> will get you that particular version and installation of Python.
For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ <span class="nb">source</span> ~/envs/tutorial-env/bin/activate
<span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ python
Python <span class="m">3</span>.5.1 <span class="o">(</span>default, May <span class="m">6</span> <span class="m">2016</span>, <span class="m">10</span>:59:36<span class="o">)</span>
...
&gt;&gt;&gt; import sys
&gt;&gt;&gt; sys.path
<span class="o">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;&#39;</span>, <span class="s1">&#39;/usr/local/lib/python35.zip&#39;</span>, ...,
<span class="s1">&#39;~/envs/tutorial-env/lib/python3.5/site-packages&#39;</span><span class="o">]</span>

<div class="section" id="managing-packages-with-pip">
<h2>12.3. Managing Packages with pip<a class="headerlink" href="#managing-packages-with-pip" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You can install, upgrade, and remove packages using a program called
<strong class="program">pip</strong>. By default <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> will install packages from the Python
Package Index, &lt;<a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.org">https://pypi.org</a>&gt;. You can browse the Python
Package Index by going to it in your web browser, or you can use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code>s
limited search feature:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ pip search astronomy
skyfield - Elegant astronomy <span class="k">for</span> Python
gary - Galactic astronomy and gravitational dynamics.

<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> has a number of subcommands: “search”, “install”, “uninstall”,
“freeze”, etc. (Consult the <a class="reference internal" href="../installing/index.html#installing-index"><span class="std std-ref">Installing Python Modules</span></a> guide for
complete documentation for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code>.)</p>
<p>You can install the latest version of a package by specifying a packages name:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ pip install novas
Collecting novas

Running setup.py install <span class="k">for</span> novas
Successfully installed novas-3.1.1.3
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>You can also install a specific version of a package by giving the
package name followed by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">==</span></code> and the version number:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ pip install <span class="nv">requests</span><span class="o">==</span><span class="m">2</span>.6.0

Using cached requests-2.6.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: requests
Successfully installed requests-2.6.0
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you re-run this command, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> will notice that the requested
version is already installed and do nothing. You can supply a
different version number to get that version, or you can run <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span>
<span class="pre">install</span> <span class="pre">--upgrade</span></code> to upgrade the package to the latest version:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ pip install --upgrade requests
Collecting requests
Installing collected packages: requests

Successfully installed requests-2.7.0
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">uninstall</span></code> followed by one or more package names will remove the
packages from the virtual environment.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">show</span></code> will display information about a particular package:</p>

<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">list</span></code> will display all of the packages installed in the virtual

</div>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">freeze</span></code> will produce a similar list of the installed packages,
but the output uses the format that <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span> <span class="pre">install</span></code> expects.
A common convention is to put this list in a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">requirements.txt</span></code> file:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ pip freeze &gt; requirements.txt

<span class="nv">requests</span><span class="o">==</span><span class="m">2</span>.7.0
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">requirements.txt</span></code> can then be committed to version control and
shipped as part of an application. Users can then install all the
necessary packages with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">install</span> <span class="pre">-r</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">(</span>tutorial-env<span class="o">)</span> $ pip install -r requirements.txt
