RE: [Python Tips] Virtual Environments

[themarkymark]

I haven't used it in a virtualenv environment, but I believe it will read in a .env file. I would recommend removing the virtual env all together, and reinstalling the packages using pipenv install ... and it will handle it all.

Just make sure you are in the project folder.

pipenv makes it really easy to uninstall/install modules and will handle adding only modules you need.

Cool thanks you are right. I see in the documentation here: https://docs.pipenv.org/basics/#importing-from-requirements-txt it says: "If you only have a requirements.txt file available when running pipenv install, pipenv will automatically import the contents of this file and create a Pipfile for you." and it says: "You can also specify $ pipenv install -r path/to/requirements.txt to import a requirements file." and that pretty means you can also install from a file that isn't named requirements.txt also for example: pipenv install -r dev-requirements.txt Thanks for sharing all the info. Would you mind if I add you on discord?

I ran into this isssue when I ran: $pipenv install -r requirements.txt: "Unkown locale: UTF-8" and I solved it with this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38916461/valueerror-unknown-locale-utf-8-when-importing-pandas-in-python-2-7
I added this to ~/.bash_profile:

export=LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and did:

$ source ~/.bash_profile

and then this worked:

$ pipenv install -r requirements.txt
