PYTHON | How to create a VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT(venv) in Python

In this video we will see how to create a python virtual environment and how to install packages using pip (preferred installer program).
Your new virtual environment contains its own pip to install packages, its own libraries folder where new libraries are added and its own Python interpreter. With this new environment, your app becomes self-contained and gets some benefits such as:
• Your development environment is contained inside your project, becomes isolated and doesn't interfere with your system installed python or other virtual environments.
• You can create a new virtual environment for multiple Python versions,
• You can easily download packages into your project, without admin privileges.
• You can easily package your application, and share with other developers, to replicate.
• You can easily create a list off dependencies and sub dependencies in file, for your project which makes it easy for others to replicate and install all dependencies used within your environment.
Using virtual environments is recommended for Software Development Projects that generally grow out of one Python Script, and Python provides multiple methods of creating and using a Virtual Environment.
Command to create a virtual environment (venv): python –m venv (env folder name)
