"Virtual environments in Python. Let's say you have two different Python projects, Project A and Project B. Both use the Pandas library, but Project A needs version 2.2 and Project B needs version 2.3. If you install only one version globally, one of the projects might not work. That's where virtual environments come in. A virtual environment is like a separate workspace for each project. It keeps the Python version and libraries isolated from other projects. Now let's see how to create one. First, create a new folder. Let's call it SampleProject. But before we set up a virtual environment, let's check which version of Pandas is currently installed. For that, open your terminal and type PipshowPandas. It will show you the version installed in your global environment. Next, open the SampleProject folder in VS Code. Inside VS Code, open the terminal and type Python-mvenv, followed by the name of your virtual environment. I'll call it XYZ, for example. After hitting Enter, Python will create a new folder named XYZ. That's your virtual environment. To activate it, just type XYZ slash scripts. slash activate. Keep in mind the command is a bit different for Mac and Linux, check the description for more details. Once it's activated, you'll see the environment name appear in green in your terminal. That means it's ready to use. Now type pip list and you'll see there are no extra libraries installed yet, just pip. Let's install pandas version 2.2.3 by typing the install command. Once it's done, this version is now available only inside your virtual environment. It won't affect your global setup. To save all the installed libraries, just type pip freeze right arrow requirements dot txt. This will create a... text file with the list of libraries and their versions. If you share your project with a friend, they can install everything from that file just by typing pip install-r requirements.txt, and when you're done, just type deactivate. This will turn off the virtual environment."
