Virtual Environment

The new versions of my beloved GNU/Linux have made it difficult to pip-install some obscure Python packages. Apparently, developers don't think their users are capable of making wise judgments regarding the usability of their systems… and they're probably right. Anyone with two functional neurons can see that the GNU/Linux community has some… anyway, I digress.

The important thing now is that I need to create a virtual environment to carry out my inconsequential experiments... probably with Docker, but here I just want to do it for my Jupyter Lab calculations.

So, run the commad below to create and activate the Python virtual environment:

            python -m venv my-virtual-env

            source myenv/bin/activate

Now we can have some fun pip-installing all my stuff... and to make it permanent and reinstall it in other machine, just do:

            pip freeze > requirements.txt

            pip install -r requirements.txt

That's all folks!!
