Python Azure Function Debugging in Pyenv-virtualenv virtual environment

Creating virtual environment

$ mkdir python_demo
$ cd python_demo
$ pyenv local 3.9.16
$ pyenv virtualenv 3.9.16 python_demo-3.9.16

# OR pyenv-virtualenv will use local python runtime with the following command
$ pyenv virtualenv python_demo-3.9.16

setting pyenv local version to created virtual environment will allow to activate virtual environment automatically when we enter project folder, so exiting from project folder will deactivate virtual environment.

$ pyenv local python_demo-3.9.16

Activating virtual environment

$ pyenv activate python_demo-3.9.16

How to create virtual environment with conda

Conda is an open-source package management system and virtual environment management system that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It was created for Python programs but it can package and distribute software for any language such as R, Ruby, Lua, Scala, Java, JavaScript, C, C++, FORTRAN.

The two main purposes of Conda are:

  1. Package management: Conda makes it easy to manage and install packages, even for different versions of Python. In addition, it also supports binary package management, which makes it an efficient way to handle packages and dependencies in your projects.
  2. Virtual Environment management: Conda allows you to create separate environments containing files, packages, and their dependencies that will not interact with other environments. When switching between Python versions for different projects, Conda makes it simple to use the specific version you need.

While pip can install Python packages, Conda can install packages for any language. Conda packages are binaries, which eliminates the need to compile the code which makes installations faster and more straightforward.

Installing conda

$ brew update
$ brew install --cask miniconda

Checking conda version

$ conda --version

conda 23.3.1

How to create virtual environment with pipenv

Pipenv is a Python tool that aims to bring the best features of multiple other tools into one. It provides an easy way to manage virtual environments and manage package dependencies consistently. Its key goal is to simplify the workflow of managing a Python environment for your project.

Installing pipenv

$ python -m pip install pipenv

Checking pipenv version

$ pipenv --version

pipenv, version 2022.7.4

Checking pipenv version

Options:
  --where                         Output project home information.
  --venv                          Output virtualenv information.
  --py                            Output Python interpreter information.
  --envs                          Output Environment Variable options.
  --rm                            Remove the virtualenv.
  --bare                          Minimal output.
  --man                           Display manpage.
